I'm going to be building a computer for my friend; he wants to go for a
budget system, so I figure that I can save him money if he buys a Vista
64-OEM "System Builders Pack" instead of the full retail version (OEM version
is about 90 dollars). I've built many machines before, but have never used
OEM Operating System software. I realize that you can only install it on one
particular machine, which is no problem for us, however, many times I've
built machines where a piece of hardware (especially HDDs) fail after a few
weeks. Would the OEM Operating system install disks still work assuming I had
replaced a failed HDD? I was planning on buying "Vista 64-Bit Home Basic for
System Builders Single Pack DVD - OEM" from newegg. Any helpful comments
would be appreciated. Thanks -Vince
