hi, when i bought my laptop, i only got 2 recovery dvd´s. with them i can re-install vista. But how can i use them with vLite? When i try to select the first dvd it tells me that its not a valid vista installer.

Also i wonder what WAIK is good for? Is it needed to burn or create the vista dvd later? Cause when i try to start it i get an error about framework 2.0 missing.. but guess what happens when i try to install framwork 2.0 -> error: already installed :P

Thanks

WAIK is needed for the maniupulation of the disk.

.net error - I have no clue.

Recovery dvd's? They are majorly bad. You will have very little luck with them.

well the recovery dvd would include already all drivers etc for my laptop.. ofc i could add this manually with vlite but i think their might be some other stuff especially for that laptop. As this recovery vista is especially for this notebook done (thats whats written on the dvd´s).

If you can tell me that this is just a normal vista home premium , with all the drivers included + bloatware , then i will get some other original vista and use this one for vLite :>

thanks

@edit:
also just read that i might wont be able to activate vista with the key used on my notebook as this key is only for the vista on my recovery dvd and not for some other vista. If this is true?
