Hey guys, I bought vista ultimate x64 a while back. I installed it and then left my copy at my dads house for safe keeping. Not the best idea as he moved and left the box with the disk. I went back to the place but the guy there said he never found it (its bs but I can't really search his house :D). Could someone send me a dvd with vista ultimate x64 please?I really want to format but currently I cant.I saved the cd key on my gmail account so I still have it. Just don't want to buy another copy/torrent/ask microsoft for the dvd because we all know they are useless.
Anyone plz?send me a pm.I will pay postage + dvd

Contact Microsoft and explain what happened to them. If you can prove your ownership of the software they will send you a replacement DVD at shipping cost.

Ouch
 
OMF...I don't want to wait 299 days for microsoft to send me a copy. Why would I lie on here? I am a student at stellenbosch university. If I wanted to copy it I would have done so already. They have the facilities there...I actually bought this piece of ***** and now I can't use it. Legal software is so unattractive. So if you are willing to help me please say. Otherwise spam this thread with "LOL, nice try".

I'm confused, are you asking someone to send you an original? Cause you're implying you already have access to a copy?
 
I don't know anyone else who has wasted money buying vista ultimate...so was asking for help

Well there's always the cheaper option of XP x64 but I guess it's too late now.

Everyone on here is just gonna tell you to phone MS and prove ownership and they'll ship you a replacement.

I doubt it is going to take that long, a week maybe two at the most. :rolleyes:

This is confusing... if all you are looking for is a copy, then why didn't you copy it already? :confused:

Whereabouts are you in South Africa? For one of us to mail you a copy is going to take a week anyway.

Go ask on a warez site somewhere, you won't get it here.

I think no matter how you look at it if we send a copy to you it would qualify as piracy and last time I checked MyADSL doesn't support piracy.
Sorry
 
feo I guess you are right.I just didn't want to go through all that. Will ask some people I know and if that doesn't work I'll just phone MS.
