    First of all, sorry if this is wrong section...

    Okay, a friend of mine borrowed my laptop and was going to dual boot because he needed ubuntu and apparently installed ubuntu 11.04 and completely erased my windows partition incuding recovery. I didn't ever get around to making recovery disks(fail, I know) and now I need a way to get Windows 64 bit back onto my laptop without disks. I have a 4gb flash drive to work and my vista product key to work with. I don't want to pay money to order disks from HP since I'm out of warranty.

    HP Pavillion DV6700
    4gb ram
    250 hard drive
    Currently Ubuntu 11.04 but want Windows Vista 64 bit

    If you need any more info just ask.
