If the laptop has the OEM sticker with the Vista key on it then you can just download the Vista iso from the web.

You'd have to get an iso of it from somewhere. I dunno where, I use a private torrent tracker these days, so not sure what torrent sites are still good/safe.

Oh you should also read up documentation on the laptop, I know some lappys have a secure partition that contains the image of the windows install.

Try googling the model of laptop then factory restore

eg' compaq CQ61 factory restore '


sometimes its as easy as pressing f12 during boot , but every laptop is different

and that should restore the laptop to the way it left the shop :)

best of luck

Ok then look for the option to create the external recovery disks and burn them while you have the chance.
Should be in the start menu somewhere with any luck.
