    Hi! Got an Acer Aspire 6920 here, and since it did not come with a Vista install disc, I'm trying to create one with vLite. But I don't know where the Vista Media is hidden on the HDD... anyone know?

    It's not a Vista installation media so much as a hard disk image of your computer when it left the factory, that can be copied onto your system in case of an emergency.
    If you need a clean install disc, see if you can find a link to one online, then use the license key on the bottom of your computer to activate it.
