Wink Windows Vista home basic disc request.

Trying to sort out a mate's daughters laptop (Acer 5315) The drive got fubarred a few months ago so he acquired another one and installed vista black on it (there was no recovery disc supplied with the laptop when he brought it second hand)
Well black is now borked, I dont know if its because of an update or something else but when it boots to desktop everything locks up aside from the mouse. I can only move the pointer there is no left\right click, mouse over icon doesnt change the icon everything is locked out.

So what I am after is a copy of windows vista basic, dont require a license number or anything else just the disc so I can get his lappy back up & running legally using the OEM number on the bottom of the laptop.

Can any kind soul help me out.

Cheers

Al

Re: Windows Vista home basic disc request.

best bet is see if you can download one as you have a key so shouldn't be a problem you just need to find it.

good luck
