Compaq C727US

Let me begin with apologizing for asking you to even consider thinking about a compaq.

That said, a friend at work brought me this steaming turd with no discs, and a dead hard drive.

It had Vista Home Premium on it. I can get a vista disc to install with, but I'm not sure if it's going to work out as this thing has no floppy drive, and a sata HDD.

Does Vista force you to use a floppy to install the sata driver like 2k and XP?

I'm tempted to stuff the crap drive back in it, and just bring it back to him.

Edit: It's a laptop, don't know why I didn't mention that.
