like the title says, I need it to do a clean isntall on my neighbor's computer. I've got teh product key, but he can't find his disc (either that or HP never actually gave him one). If anyone can help I'd appreciate it! thanks!

You might be able to download a trial off of Microsoft.com and use your key for it.

I don't think the way you get the disc really matters as long as you have your own license. If you get what I mean :)

I can tell you right now HP didn't supply a disc. Before I found this site I had to "Buy" a hard copy of the software installed on my HP when it was new because the HD crapped out. HP stopped send disc with their systems quite awhile back.

Does it matter if it's 32- or 64-bit?

I get mine off ebay. The disks are useless without a key, which you already have. When I worked at Office Depot I would get one for every OS on ebay for less than $10 each. It doesn't matter the company on the disk either because they are all the same

Like this (http://cgi.ebay.com/DELL-Vista-Home-Premium-32Bits-Sp1-Reinstallation-Dvd-/270661445005?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f04ade58d)

And all of these (http://computers.shop.ebay.com/Software-/18793/i.html?_nkw=vista+premium+dell&_catref=1&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m282)
