    Hello:

    I am wondering if anyone knows a link to 'order' a vista install disk from Lenovo in regards to the OS license sold with the computer. I think I did this with a Dell awhile back...

    Or, is the only option backing up the hidden partition or the clean install trick.

    I'd very much like to get an install disk instead for a particular purpose, so thanks for any help!

    Lenovo will not give you an install disc. You can buy the Vista Anytime Upgrade disc which will allow you to do a clean install of Vista. Check the guide in the sticky if you want to see how to do it.
