Questions & Comments

Interesting debate. I, personally have a Dell, and don't know if it would work on an HP or Gateway. This one is a gamble, but the other one is not for someone With a Dell for it has yet to be installed and is sealed.

actually, this one is guaranteed no viruses or court cases....

You guys do know that this is only for reinstallation and does not work as a Windows Vista install disk. If you're looking for a free copy of windows vista check out the pirate bay (http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4418157/Windows_Vista_Home_Premium_Pre_-_Activated_and_Bootable)

*could=code....oops

Feb 16th, 2010 at 9:29:35 PM PST by

for instance you would need your toshiba laptop to have a "windows vista businessv 32 bit sp1" sticker on it with the activation could to properly activate it....if not it will only work for 30 days...

Feb 16th, 2010 at 9:28:48 PM PST by

yes you can install it on any system with that has the COA sticker that has the proper system activation number on it....but as far as the drivers, this with only work on dells....this will also install without a coa number on any dell computer....desktop or laptop....

Feb 16th, 2010 at 9:27:06 PM PST by

greatmalinkoman seems to think so. I don't know. I have only had dells.

Feb 16th, 2010 at 1:22:25 PM PST by

I used the same disk on my subsequent dells for a number of years.... Hmmmm.

Feb 15th, 2010 at 8:00:49 PM PST by

I have also used a dell disk on many different computers and never had a problem.

Feb 15th, 2010 at 7:45:12 PM PST by

Very interesting. Thank you.

Feb 15th, 2010 at 7:36:30 PM PST by

If this is the disc that came with your system the COA is either on the side of your tower or the back

Feb 15th, 2010 at 7:35:25 PM PST by

I have used dell disc on gateways, emachines, 2 different HPs and 3 different dells. the key is not to register the key only activate. when you register it voids that key from anymore use

Feb 15th, 2010 at 7:31:17 PM PST by

No. I did not get one with the software for my computer. Dell put a sticker on the side my computer. The only COA I have is on my Window Software....Works9...which has nothing to do with this auction.

Feb 15th, 2010 at 2:42:49 PM PST by

This does include the COA?

Feb 15th, 2010 at 1:37:57 PM PST by

ahh I have a few of these but they are Windows 7 Ultimate.
Hmm nice listing.

Feb 14th, 2010 at 2:25:30 PM PST by

very nice

Feb 10th, 2010 at 11:47:19 AM PST by

I knew there was someone out there who had some system freak-out...who had to reinstall.

Feb 10th, 2010 at 7:58:26 PM PST by

You sure about using a DELL disk on a Gateway or HP?
I have tried this unsuccessfully. The disks I have identify the host computer prior to installation by not only manufacturer, but model.

Feb 13th, 2010 at 8:16:55 AM PST by

That's workin' the system, guys! What a community we've got here.

Feb 13th, 2010 at 4:27:56 AM PST by

hey greatmalinkoman, if you win the home edition, but not the business edition, hit me up...i'll trade you a copy if you can make me a copy of the home edition....it's always good to have back up!!!!

Feb 12th, 2010 at 10:31:11 PM PST by

I have been certain about getting something, too, but as 4 people are watching, you might have some competition. Best of luck to you haowever.

Feb 12th, 2010 at 2:43:18 PM PST by

i am going to get both

Feb 12th, 2010 at 2:31:07 PM PST by

I will be getting these I just have to wait for my auctions to finish

Feb 12th, 2010 at 2:30:54 PM PST by

yes they are you just have to have a COA

Feb 12th, 2010 at 2:30:15 PM PST by

7? Oh, WIndows 7. Thought you meant the number 7...as in seven copies of the OS Reinstall.

Feb 11th, 2010 at 8:44:22 PM PST by

i want to get 7

Feb 11th, 2010 at 7:51:33 PM PST by

i have copies of XP sp2 an XP sp3 disc so for xp i am set

Feb 11th, 2010 at 7:51:20 PM PST by

That's a great idea.....I know that I always do a little freak-out when it is time to reformat and I'm not sure where the disc is.

Feb 11th, 2010 at 6:07:00 PM PST by

I may get both of these because you can use these on any system which many people do not know. , it does not have to be a dell , it can be hp, emachine, gateway, or any pc based comp

Feb 11th, 2010 at 4:45:09 PM PST by

Yes. If you are anything like me....a reinstall is a biannual or annual thing.
