Would you like me to host an unbranded universal Vista ISO on Dropbox for you? Do you need 32 or 64 bit?
Thanks voyagerfan99, you are very kind; but no need, i've got good news;after stubborn perseverance and using our good friend GOOGLE,and lots of patience and never give up,downloading crap ,removing crap, i was able to find a good and ready Win Vista home premium sp2 64bit ISO,i made the CD ISO on my old Dell P4 in Win XP,also downloaded CDBURNERXP,that had no marketing crap attached to it, and installed it on the HP Dell DV5 1254US,the only thing i had to do was to get HP Wireless Drivers, and when the system was full updated i changed the Product Key that came with the ISO installation and put in the Product Key that was on the label on the bottom of the Laptop, boom; it just accepted it and now i'm in businesses.
note the Iso only was 3.4GB, and doesn't have marketing crap, after installing everything it amounts to 28GB,if i compare to what was installed when i received the Computer,it's unbelievable how much Crap HP puts on their computers that ships to customers that has no use for.
for someone that has the Computer Product Key; here is the link where i downloaded the ISO.
