The box (HP Pavilion) came from Best Buy.
I see that I can use an HP tool to create one and only one set of recovery
DVDs. No problem. That is the first thing I will do.
Then I will test them.
Then I will upgrade to Ultimate.
Then I will attempt to use Complete PC Restore to create a new recovery set,
so that I have an image that is Ultimate, which of course is my desired
starting point after a hardware failure.
I just have to cross my fingers and hope that the original HP Recovery Set
will get me into the right Vista Recovery Environment that allows me to
restore from my "Ultimate Image".
