bizzybody Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 That's no help. Where do most OEM installs of Vista have the install files tucked away? They have to be on the hard drive somewhere, especially on PCs that don't include any discs.In previous versions of Windows they were either in %SystemRoot%\options\cabs or C:\i386 (for 2000 or XP) or a folder named Win98 or Win95 or WinMe.I have an Acer laptop with Home Basic on it and so far haven't been able to find the install files. Is there not one path/location that most OEMs put them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scankurban Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 There is no dvd installation files for oem notebooks like acer,sony,asus.Only preinstalled systems exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxXPsoft Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I looked at 2 recently diff Oem and they both had a hidden partition similar to Acronis. Their tools would open them and restore and they both had an F key to start installation from the Bios screen but that was about it. I was able to gain access to them with xcaclsVista btw has a new version of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
