I am looking to reformat my now almost 2 year old gaming PC, but I never made the system recovery disks(If I did I can't find them).

What is the best way to go about doing this?

Step 1: Get Windows 7 instead

Where can I find it cheapest?

I'm not sure that I want to spend $99 on a Windows 7 upgrade disk...

edit: Legal means only.

Give me an hour. I have a half a dozen legal Windows 7 codes. I'll see if I have one I haven't used yet.


You'll have to download the disk, but any version you want. 32-bit or 64-bit ultimate.


If I don't have one, I should have a few more in a couple weeks.

Yes, you should bite the bullet and go with windows 7. This is the perfect time and Vista it just a warm, steamy turd.

It's not going to cost 90 bucks either.

Bought the computer before Windows 7 came out, and I'm too cheap to spend $100 on an operating system when this one has always worked fine.

If you don't have a Vista disk then a Windows 7 upgrade disk may be a risky bet.
