Okay, but anyone with a pre-installed version of Vista Ultimate will not have
the "Vista DVD". (Or that have upgraded to Ultimate, in my case.)
It would appear that I have upgraded to Ultimate to get a feature that I
cannot use!
I am familiar with other 3rd party restore applications that create the boot
disk that then prompts for the remaining disks in the set.
Unfortunately, I did not order the Any Time upgrade via the web and did not
request the Vista disk (which only costs me shipping and handling).
Now what????
