Is it possible to get an original Vista Home Premium 64 bit SP1 OEM disc? If so, can someone please tell me where I can find one. I have the product key. To make a very long story short, I let the wrong person borrow one of my old Gateway DX4200-09 last year; the OS has vanished. Anyway, I would like to get her back up and running. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You can call the manufacturer and see... They'll likely charge you a small fee. They may not have it either being that it is a old system. Your best bet may be to find a copy of vista home and just install from that. The product key should still work if you run into issues it will give u a number to contact microsoft and explain the situation and they will push the activation through for you.
