But yes, if you don't already have an OS, it would cost about 100-200 more, depending on the version.

Thanks both of you! But what do you mean by already having an OS? I have a disc that can recover Vista on my laptop but that wouldn't work for initially putting an OS on a computer would it?

And with those recent price cuts, thread does need updating.

Do you already have a disc that can INSTALL your operating system?
