This is how i got my vista working.
1. I downloaded an actual retail version of Vista Home Premium from the net. I’m not gonna gives links here, there everywhere.
2. I went into my local computer shop, PC-World to be exact and i basically took a picture using my camera phone of the “Certificate Of Authenticity” on the side of the computer.
Its very helpful to change the storage location Of ‘my Documents’, a bit safer for when your PC crashes…..
Normally windows saves the “My Documents” folder on your C-drive. But when you right-click on it and go to properties, you can change the location where you want windows to save your Documents folder.
I have a partition set up with just windows on it, and all my things i want to keep are on different partitions/disks. So now I put My Documents on another partition than where I have windows installed. If windows screws up and you have to format your C-drive again, your documents will be spared at least..
This tutorial will help you in creating a bootable USB drive of Windows Vista which you can use to install Vista in any system. It might become very useful when you don’t have access to DVD drive.
