I had a HP OEM machine using a DELL OEM disc and i have to run a Dell OEM hack for the bios - works fine after | |

No you don't, if he has an OEM key stuck to his machine he's probably got an OEM machine, in which case any OEM disc should work. | |

You don't need recovery discs either, any oem cd would work, they just check the BIOS, don't need a key. | |

It shouldn't work, it definitely didn't with XP, don't think I've tried with vista though | |

I don't think it knows about what kind of disc you've used. I've used several different discs for reinstalls and the thing that matters is the serial number. | |

Is this possible with Vista? |
