surface Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 After installing SP1 I'm having a few issues and would like to perform a fresh install of a slipstreamed Vista SP1 (Home Premium). The problem is the recovery disk does only makes an image of the existing install as far as I can tell, and I can't open the image files using WinRAR to inspect it any further. Has anyone been able to get the Vista installation files off of their laptop somehow or do I need to contact Acer? I'd rather not have to pick up a CD from one of the shops in Fortune or Pantip (other than an official Acer shop) or download an image off the net for obvious reasons.

Norrad Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I downloaded a copy of Vista and used the actual Key under the notebook when installing. Worked great for me. I couldn't stand all that extra crap that got installed when using the recovery disks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surface Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 My only concern with that is you never know what files may have replaced and/or altered, leaving you with a potentially compromised system from the get-go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
