i'm assuming the pc is an HP or dell or another big mfg of pc's
call them, they can probably get you a new disc for cheap (20 bucks or so)
if you bought it from a small shop, call them, they probably would help you for free
if neither of the two above apply, craigslist or ask a friend

i have found that it doesnt matter what version you are installing because vista dvd seems to know which copy to install based on the key. i used the home key using a vista ultimate copy and it installed it as vista home full with the right key... this wasnt the case with xp or 2k
