My laptop came with Vista, and a CD to reinstall it. My friend wants Vista on his computer. Will I be able to install Vista uisng my CD?

Not unless it's a restore cd.

It won't worlk. I used the restore CD to inatall Vista without all the crap
that Lenovo had put on it.

After a few days, I was told to sign in to Microsoft and enter the Vista Key, otherwisw Vista would stop working in 30 days from insatall date.
That resulted in a "We cant do this online, please call Microsoft" and I had to explain that I had just reinstalled Vista on the same computer.

Just curious.
Was that one install CD or several since Vista is such a huge OS and how long did the reinstall take?
