Help with OS

[Deleted member 8178]

I have a allot of problems with my computer a need to re-format it bad, but I've looked everywhere and cant find my recovery disks. Yeah f*** me.
So, I want to know if looking for a pirated Vista-OS is a good idea..? What can go wrong etc? Will it work with laptops, I have a Fujitsu Siemens.

ive got a copy of windows xp that has a crap load of driver packs installed. its pretty much an un-attended install and its also a stripped down version so its a bit faster..

But there a special version for laptops or does it work for all PCs?

i also have an Xp full version if you need. i used to use the small versions, like drew is talkin about but i always ended up having weird problems so i went back to the full version. i dont have a vista though.. sorry

Will it work on a Vista PC?

It will work fine if you download a copy of Vista, any version should work for your laptop. You might need the CD Key to install it though, sometimes Microsoft people put a sticker on the bottom of your laptop that might have the CD key.

Here is a version that might work, windows vista home premium x86 with activation crack (download torrent) - TPB

Those modified copies of XP that go faster and install un-atended do really work, I at least used to use the XP XE (xtreme edition) and worked really nice.

It's almost imposible to know if XP will be 100% compatible with your pc, but It will in 99% of the systems after downloading the proper drivers.

Answsering your second question, there are not laptop versions, they are all the same.
