    I was wondering if any one knows if the mark 1 CF-30 came with Vista or was it just a upgrade to the XP operating system.I have a Mk 1 that has a vista business panasonic OEM- COA sticker on it , but cannot find any restore DVD's with vista on them unless they are the later versions of the CF-30.Will a later disk restore my computer or am I stuck with doing the windows install myself?
    I have Windows 7 on it now, but was looking to dual boot because i cannot get the calibration of my touch screen to work.The screen works but i cannot calibrate it and cannot find the win7 utility.It is set up as a tablet computer.
    Thanks Chuck

    Most of the MK1's I have seen are XP , you might have one that someone special ordered with Vista .
