the pc was purchased from curries christmas 2007 so it's just over a year old what i really need is a vista instalation disk but were not supplied,one as is the norm nowadays,as i think the image is not copying properly
is there anybody out there who could advise me on the best course of action as i feel that when i purchased the pc i also purchased a valid vista licence and should be able to get an instalation disk
