Recovering authentic Vista without CD/DVD

[Odie]

When I bought my laptop, it came with Vista Home Premium pre-installed but without any CD/DVD. Most of you know by now that I managed to partition my hard drive and consequently deleted Vista.

Should I, at this point, accept that I will have to buy a new copy of Vista or could I contact somebody to get the original copy reinstalled?

Already been covered.

Thanks Ray

Seems as if I'm getting pretty lazy these days.

Will the easy why still work for me seeing that I have no trace of Vista left on my computer?

[Raymond]

"no trace" of vista left? Meaning the whole Windows directory is gone?

[Odie]

Everything.

Not only Windows but all my other software as well, but for those if got the installation disks.

If everything is gone, I guess you'll need the original Vista DVD and perform a clean reinstallation.
