I have an HP dv9000 Entertainment notebook and it does not come with a DVD containing the Vista OS. The OS is on a partition along with all the other crap-ware.

My questions are this - could I use a friends DVD copy of Windows Vista along with my serial key for the laptop and do a reinstall? If so, do you think there are certain drivers specifically on the notebook partition I would also need?

I just would like to have a fresh install without all the other crap-ware. I also do not want to reinstall over the recovery partition if there are drivers I'll need for the installation.

Thanks in advance!

Are the version of vista on your computer and the version of vista on the disk the same?
