Please explain why you have a key but don't have a disc.
Sure well you were right it was OEM once.
And I say once because It used to be a HP but I've changed graphics card (8800gt, case (antec 1200), PSU (coolermaster extreme 460w) and most recently hard drive (caviar black) and motherboard (crosshair II)
so basically I performed previous upgrades without needing to reinstall vista. I have the recovery disks but I don't think they will work well with a new motherboard. and I have the key from sticker on case (well I just took a picture of it cus the old case is in storage)
and as per the person who said yes torrent will work but its not very legal.
I realize that and I am definitly not for torrenting OS, but I already hav a legal key so MS has gotten theyre part from me, So I'm just getting the dvd pretty much. cus I'll use my key anyway
I reely hope the key is not locked to the OEM but I honestly doubt it. I think it shud work
btw I'll prbly try it this weekend
taken a while cus I had to RMA my caviar black a second time (kinda rediculous to replace faulty hard drive with another faulty hard drive, but thats another story)
