I have a Gateway laptop that came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium
I was trying to reformat it, and well, I'm a dummy, and accidentall
used an XP Reinstallation CD, which I don't have a product key for.
can't seem to get a Vista CD from Microsoft or Gateway. I don't kno
what to do at this point. Any suggestions? =
