Vista Upgrade Disk that came with my new Laptop

Hi Paul,

You obtain one from HP. Normally, they use a proprietary recovery partition
and an option to create your own set of recovery disks. Check the system
documentation on how to access the former and create the latter.

Hi Rick,
Hmmm, read the manual, I guess I should get off the computer and do that...
I'm just very excited with my new toy.
lol, I'm one of these guys that doesn't read the assembly instructions when
I buy something... guess I should.

Thanks
