Have you lost Vista as an operating system?
or has your hard drive sh*t it self and you need a new one.

You could buy a brand new hard drive, but that won't have any programs installed on it.
You would have to buy Vista - or you could get Windows 7 (choice is yours now)

Have you got all of your files etc saved onto an external Hard drive?

If not, I wouldn't do anything until you at least get someone who can recover your files from the drive before you go through the next process

Are you 100% sure that the Hard Drive is no longer working or have you just lost the operating system?

If you have lost just the operating system, then find a friend that has Vista on a disk to re-install.

If it is the C: Hard Drive (the most likely place Vista was installed), then by removing that Hard drive and the re-install Vista onto the other Hard drive.

How are you talking to us now..?

Forget the headache.

Buy latest technology.

Find a dealer and get him to build what you want the computer to do.

Don't be shy, tell him.

What do you use your computer for?

You want latest technology.

Only build a Box. then go to JB Hi-fi and get a cheap 32" lcd TV with HDMI inputs and usb. ;)

Cordless keyboard and mouse.

If you already have lcd, with home theatre, well and good. ;)

You really need a 1TB external hard drive for file backup in todays world my friend.

Once you tell the dealer this , he will give you far better prices for the above than JB Hi-Fi ;)

Check the prices though, so you are getting the best possible for the cheapest price.

You want written quotes all the way.

Once set up, no looking back. :D :D

My computer is the best Communication Device, Work Station, Play Station, I have ever come across. :D
Smile :)

It's only Money $$$ :)
