I purchased a Sony VGN-CR590 notebook, it came with Vista Home Premium x86, I decided I wanted XP Pro, so I formatted that and a partition that I had no clue what it was, it ended up being the recovery partition. When I installed XP Pro (x86) almost all my drivers didnt work, I even got the ones that were available for XP and a 1 didnt work (intel mobile graphics). I went to microsofts website to get a disc sent to me, and they didnt supply them to people who bought computers from sony (i put in my reg code). I looked on the internet for an exact ISO of the vista home premium and I couldn't find one. I don't know what to do now. I just want my vista home premium back, any ideas how to get it without putting out 200 dollars.

Best bet is to borrow a friend disk (or any OEM disk) and use your COA key.

cheers ...
