    You will need a Vista retail CD and all the drivers for your notebook. If you don't know anyone with a Vista CD that you could use to install with your OEM key then you will need the purchase a retail copy of Vista separately.

    Airman,i want to install windows XP mce not Vista.
    And about the drivers, I bet all of them are on the hidden partition, I tryed to make a clean install b4 and it worked more or less ok. One thing i couldn't fix though - i couldn't change brightness of the LCD using the keyboard.
