Happy New Year!

I've lost my windows vista ultimate installation disc! I need it because I've just backed up all my data and was going to do a fresh install. Usually I chuck the disc in, and then do, I think it was a full system repair or something along those lines. Without the disc I don't think I can do it. A system restore is no good because the dates I can choose from only go back a couple of weeks.

I think I should be looking along the lines of burning an .iso image to disc(?), but have never done this before.

I've spent a few hours trying to figure out what to do but I'm lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers, borgia.
 
Hmm, it says denied when I try opening each of the links.

I think I've found the same links on various other forums now, and they all appear dead :(

You can still find Vista images at questionable sources (torrents/newsgroups) which (so long as they are vanilla and un-altered images) are legit with your original key.
 
Cheers everyone, took me a while but I sorted it. Used the links StringJunky posted.
