I have purchased a new PC with Windows Vista Home Premium installed by
manufacturer. However, I want to uninstall Windows, format disk, and install
it again by myself. Because the manufacturer did not partitioned the disk to
parts. I want to partition it to 3 volumes.

The point I want to ask is whether I can use the same license key again
after reinstallation. Will not it lose its availibility, will it?

Thanks for your help.
 
Yes, you can install or reinstall Windows Vista as many
times as you wish, as long as it is installed on the same
computer. If you cannot successfully activate Vista via
the internet, then follow this procedure:

1. Click on the Start button and in the Start Search box type in: slui.exe 4

2. Press the Enter key on your keyboard.

3. Select your Country.

4. Follow the instructions for phone activation (no charge).

5. Once completed, restart your computer.

Thank you guys. I haven't known that feature of Vista. Now there is no need
to reinstall.

I've used it and it works fine...though I believe it is advisable to defrag
the drive first
