Hey everyone,
Thanks to all who came up with loads of suggestions the other day. Turns out my harddrive decided to die yesterday and I've had to purchase a new one. I don't have the Vista Operating System disk though. The thing is, PC world were charging £170 for it - my brother was directed to a site for his HP presario computer and they sold the disk for £25.
My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5630. Where can get a Windows Vista (32 bit?) operating systems disk? If my bro can get one legally for £25 for his HP, surely something similiar is available for mine?
Also, as NO instructions came with this one and installed my bro's easily with instructions - my boot priority order is currently reading;
1: IDE 0: WDC WD1600BEVS-22VAT0 - (S1
2: IDE 2: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T2ON-
3: USB FDD:
4: Network Bo Broadcom MBA
5: USB HDD:
6: USB KEY:
7: USB CDROM:
Mines more complicated than his! Anything right in that order?
Thanks millions in advance. Sodding laptop
