If you don't have the disk, you can just download the ISO off tpb or something. It's the CD key you're paying for, not the ISO.

But in my experience, if it's on the bottom, it tends to rub off. i have a weird situation. i have a couple vista home cds, one is premium 32bit the other is home basic 32bit.. both are dell cds cause i kept them when i went through those laptops, but.. neither of them will install on my pc.. even though, my label on my compaq says home premium 32bit. |

Probably recovery (as opposed to install) CDs. Brands like Dell like to do that. |
