Once and for all, can someone tell me if it is possible to create an installation disk from a recovery partition. I have a Compaq laptop with Vista Home Basic, ca 2006 vintage, recovery partition only - no install CD. I would like to make an install disk in order to slipstream SP1 & SP2 & slim down using VLite. If this is indeed possible, please advise step-by-step procedure for doing so. Thx.
