VPR MATRIX Restore Disk

[rli]

Help! My Desktop VPR Matrix 2000 (sold by bestbuy) crashed, and I lost
my restore disk. :frown: I have the product key. When I call the PC
Manufacture, it automatically transfers me to BestBuy. They in-turn give
me the same number to call the manufacture again and say thats the only
number they have.

Looking for someone who has a copy of the restore disk. The VPR MATRIX
1600, 1800 or 2000 models use the same disk. i can use my product key.
Can anyone help me? i would greatly appreciate it!

There is always a possibility that someone reading your post will have
the exact same computer as you and be willing to send you a copy.
However, aside from bumping your support issue up to a higher tier at
either of those repellent companies - Best Buy or the computer mftr. -
you can use a generic OEM disk to reinstall Windows. You will use the
product key on the sticker on the machine. This will not include any
preinstalled software that was part of the original image, of course.
Activation will probably need to be done on the phone.

Most local computer shops have generic OEM install disks. Obviously you
would not want to use a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place since
you already know what kind of tech support they give.
