If you have a retail or an upgrade version of Windows Vista, go here and put in your Product Key. Cost is $10 shipped.
Most OEM keys won't work with the above site, but you can try it. If yours doesn't work, go here instead, where all OEM keys are accepted:
Media Replacement for End Users of System Builders (US/Canada only)
For other countries, check the list here.
One of the valid reasons for media replacement is:
Upgrade/downgrade from 32/64-bit Windows
