This will show you your key just find someone with a Vista Home Premium disc.

If you have an OEM setup of Vista, you'll probably need the same OEM version of the disk or the key may not work. Contact the PC vendor, they should be able to send you a copy of the disk for a small fee if you can't locate one yourself.
The laptop may have a hard-drive recovery partition also where you don't even need the CD, just boot to the recovery program (should tell you how to get to that as the computer is booting), and run the restore.
