    Hi l1337g0g0

     

    The best thing to do is to backup your files, and use the built in recovery, details here. You may still have the option to burn your own disks. Start Menu>All Programs>Acer>Acer eRecovery Management. This usually takes around 3 blank DVD's, plus one more for your Drivers & Applications disk.

     

    If you haven't got your recovery partition, then you can purchase the one for your exact model by going to the Acer support website for your region and ordering them from there.

     

    Finally, if the above is not possible, then you may still be able to purchase a retail copy of Vista, just make sure it is for the EXACT same one you originally had on your PC, but before you do, download the drivers from Acer's support website by clicking the "Drivers & Manuals" part, and entering the model details.

     

    Have fun!
