creating a vista reinstall CD

Hello, I just bought a computer from best buy. This is the first one I have
bought from a store and it did not come with any of the disks for the
opperating system (Vista Home Basic). I know that in the future I will
probably need to reformat the hard drive and reinstall windows vista. How do
I create a reinstallation disk for windows vista? In the past, I have always
received the opperating system disk from DELL and I do not know how to create
the disk.

Use Norton Ghost, it makes an image of the hard disk partition of your
choise " mostly C drive ".
and you can create a boot cd with Norton Ghost so you can boot from this cd
and restore an image of the c drive .

Succes GC

This will show you how to create recovery discs for an HP PC.

If you have a different brand it's a very similar process. Check the user
guide that came with your PC.

The computer HAS to come with either a Recovery Partition(for you to make a
Recovery DVD), or a system disk.

Have a look in the manual for the computer on how to do it, or contact best
buy.
