Finally got my new hard drive from HP after 3 entire weeks - and of course, they forgot to send recovery disks to install Vista. Recovery discs are another week away.

I have a buyer for this piece of junk but I just need to reinstall Vista - anyone know how I can do this with an empty HD and no discs?

Will the recovery discs even install Vista?
