Hello arsehley.


Is the recovery partition still on the machine or did you delete it. Look in the start menu, computer for a partition labeled "D: Recovery" or something like that. What company manufactured the machine?

If this O/S is installed on the pc you sold, using the same key, Then you might have a problem. If you are using a different key then you are ok. Vista will autmatically install most of the drivers at install or when you go to Windows Update, the rest you can download from the notebook OEM website. (i.e., Video/Sound/Sata)
