If its a genuine copy and a computer from a known manufacturer then you can often buy cheap official copies of Windows to put it back on.

Chances are, before you wipe it it'll ask you to save the Vista onto discs.

I bought a genuine copy for a Dell that cost me about £5 or something.

Cheers cosmo. No thanks noshua, I don't fancy moving over just yet. And downloading, ill end up getting that 'we don't think your copy of windows is legit' popping up eventually. Cba with that. But thanks for the idea.
