I agree with Mike, it's the cheap way to buy a system. There is a 'best
cheap path' but it's not 'bottom of the line'. You get a system with the
'complete PC Backup' option, (I think this is Home Premium or better, but
maybe it's Business or better, I don't know that yet). You add a second hard
drive or less good, a burner and about 25 disks. You get a 1 gig or better
flash drive, if the system will boot to flash.
Download the image of the recovery disk, and burn it, or drag the open image
onto the flash drive. (A virtual CD will do this)
