      I have got a Hard Drive for a laptop that has vista already installed which has not correctly completed the registration stage and can not be used. It's from another laptop going into mine but it seems the hard drive was not formated before i bought it.

      How can i format the drive and install my legal vista software opertaing systems?

      Any help appreicated
