I bought Windows Vista about 3 days ago. When I got it, I opened it up and
took out the disk. I placed it right next to the computer. Then I relized I
had to go to work. So I placed it down went. When I came back, the disk was
gone. I looked everywhere and I am still looking. Is there any way to install
Windows Vista without the disk?? Please respond. :((
 
no..........but if you still have the packaging with all of the serial
numbers/bar code You should contact MS and see if they will replace your
"broken" CD

No. If it's retail and you have proof of purchase see this:
How to Replace Lost, Broken, or Missing Microsoft Software or Hardware

If OEM contact the vendor it was purchased from though it might be unlikely
they'll help.

Disks just don't walk off.

Yes...

Download the ISO image off your favourite software stealing P2P
network. Install and use your CD key you have. All versions are
included on the one DVD.
 
Hi DanBomer,

The disk isn't as important as the Product Key. If you haven't lost it as
well, then you can just use anyone's retail Vista disk (not a recovery disk
or OEM).
