Fresh install of Vista

Hi my sisters version of Vista came corrupt and I didn't have a clue how to
fix it so I asked her if she had the recovery disks to do a clean install and
she said yes.

So I formatted the computer and went to get the recovery disks only to find
them damaged!

I have the product key for activation I just don't know how to install Vista
now! Any ideas?

Thanks

Contact the computer's manufacturer to obtain replacement recovery disks.

supply you with replacement recovery disk(s)
