Yes I know it sounds like a stupid question, but here goes.. I brought a LG XNOTE R200 off ebay, the seller told me it came with VISTA.. When I received it, it was running XP. ( I have tried to contact the seller but he has disapaired off the face of the earth... I wonder why??). Anyway.. Underneath is the product key for VISTA. How can I install VISTA and use my product key without having to go buy VISTA where Im just paying for a product key???????? Please lead me in the right direction.. -- PLEASE HELP Cheers.

Look in the list of drives for a partition of around 10gb. If it doesn't have one, try contacting LG for some means to get Vista back onto it. If LG won't help, you will either have to buy Vista or stick with XP.

Call up LG helpdesk support to verify your purchases and ask for exchange 1-1 with valid receipt.
