You can use any vista install disc
I have a mates laptop here that its Windows Vista install is dead. I want to locate either the product recovery ISO or a Vista Home Basic ISO. He bought it 2nd hand and never thought about getting the original CDs from the people.
The laptop is an Acer Extensa 5220, and come pre loaded with Vista Home Basic.
I tried the Acer website for anything and no luck. So i'm hoping someone around has either they can share or point to somewhere that I can download them from.

When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all
Oh, well that will make it easier then. I thought there was a difference from premium to home versions.
5220 was the free laptop from the getskills course. should be someone around who can make a copy from their laptop.
I have the instructions for creating a backup / default installation CD for a 5220 on my old phone (acer tech support will SMS the details to you)
I'll dig it out for you....
Found the info for anyone needing it from Acer Tech Support.....
1 Ensure all Data is backed up, all data will be deleted.
2 Restart machine
3 When your unit switches back on, wait for the ACER screen then hold down alt & tap f10 repeatedly..
4 Please wait a moment until prompted, -How would you like to restore?-
5 Please select Restore system to factory default-
6 Enter your defined password or enter six zeros 000000
7 Click ok
8 Please wait until process completed, this will take 45min -1hour
