ok, so my vista computer crashed so i rebooted and now it fails to boot (even in safe mode) and it says i need to insert my vista dvd to repair it. the problem is i have lost the vista dvd so i was wondering if there was any recovery disks i could download or if there was any way of obtaining one without paying too much, or if not i have a working xp computer that i could plug my hard drive into so is there any way i could repair it that way?

is ur Vista OEM version or Retail. U can download retail iso version of Vista and use dat by burning onto DVD. U should be able to download OEM version, but specific branded OEM are difficuilt to find.

The exact same reason I use vista is simply for DX10, although it makes it clear it doesn't like dual booting with XP. ugh...

How have you set yours up Spencer?
