Also When I go there I don't see an option for media, just the upgrade to Ultimate for $139.

Please see the clean install guide in my sig. It will answer all of your questions.

Or you can use stallens clean install guide. it is very thorough and complete as well as easy to follow. It should answer all these questions even how to activate without calling or doing it online.

Clean Install Guide (works for 32-bit or 64-bit)

Hi, I just purchased a Lenovo U330 and there are absolutely no disks included with the computer. However, I do have reinstallation disks for Vista from a previous Dell computer. Can I use these to do a clean install on my new Lenovo, and if not where can I find a Vista disk I can use?

Thanks in advance.
