Restore Procedure...

Hello,
I bought a machine with Home Premium pre-installed.
I Purchased, downloaded and installed Ultimate.
I've backed up the machine and all is well.

My question is this.
If the machine crashes. I do not have the software to
reload the ultimate OS so that I can restore from the backup.

Please advise on what I should do to put things in place in case
I have a problem in the future.

Thanks in advance,
bob.

Put your Backed up OS on a DVD, and some day when you got the problem
you can easly get back your OS through the set up Menu of the Vista by
choosing Restore my PC...

Thanks for the replies everyone.
It looks like it will be farily easy to recover from a bad drive.
thanks again.
