HELP?

Anyone have a Windows7 disc they're willing to send me? I'll pay?

This is the fourth Blue Screen of Death I've had in 3 days, and we have 0 discs for Windows to reinstall with.

Does it work that way? Wouldn't any Windows disc i have been 'coded' to my 'puter and you won't be able to register it?
*knows nothing*

Well, it doesn't work without a code from a computer. I have the codes on all my computers, but we have no Windows discs anywhere in the house to get to the point where it asks for a code, save for one Vista disc. And, truth-be-told, I'm side-eyeing that as a last resort.

Ah, i see. And you can't just call whomever you got the 'puter from to get a replacement disc? Since you have the code, won't they just send you a new disc?

*Sorry, sorry, just...i had to do that once, it was no big deal to get a replacement disc. i...should have a disc around here but honestly, i can't find mine, either. Meh.*

No, a lot don't ship with recovery discs anymore, most likely because buying Windows is around $150 if you need it and they realized recovery discs make people not need to buy it fifty times.
