Right, I hope this is going to make sense.
I've only ever used full proper copies of Windows, not those weird CDs that you get with laptops that are already pre-loaded with windows, and then you burn yourself a recovery disc to restore factory settings. So, forgive me if I sound retarded.
My Uncle has had his laptop which came with XP and a bunch of crap pre-loaded on it. He made a recovery disc when it was new. It broke, so it went back for repair, and has come back to him totally wiped, but with Vista instead.
He doesn't like Vista and wants XP back, along with the original crap that was bundled with it. So the quezzie is... if he uses his original recovery disc, will that actually reinstall XP and all drivers? Or does it just contain the default settings for XP, which will do naff all if he tries loading it with Vista?
I've not a clue, coz like I said I've never had to do anything like that before. Christ knows why you don't get a physical copy of Windows these days. You pay for the fucker don't you? lol
