I bought my new vista pc about two or three months ago and have been loving it (for the most part). Lately though I have been having problems with it and I am wanting to do a full sweep and reinstall everything. So, I went looking through my disks and Iwas suprised to find an UPGRADE DISK instead of an OS install disk...Im hoping bestbuy didnt seriously sit here and give me an upgrade disk instead fo the vista OS disks....

so my question is, is this disk what I'm looking for or did I get screwed?

dont know what brand PC it is, but, i know HP started doing this last year, they dont give you OS disks with new PCs anymore, i belive the only way to get ahold of them is to order the recovery disks from whatever company your PC is. you should be able to find some info on the company web site.
