Unfortunately SP1 is only available to Beta testers atm. I could be wrong but I think amorgan93 was referring to a Restore CD which restores an image rather than a Recovery CD.

Can you please provide more details amorgan93 including what edition of Vista you have and whether or not it was preinstalled.

Btw, thanks for that information misterbadnback. I wasnt aware that feature is included in SP1. It will be so helpful. :)

I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit and it was preinstalled. Speaking of Service Pack one, when is it going to be released to the public?

Hi amorgan93. I did a bit of research and found that Acer have an option called Acer eRecovery Management. See here (http://www.acer.com.ph/erecovery/erecovery.pdf) for a step by step guide on how to use this function. It looks quite handy. :)

Regarding the release of SP1, the projection is the first quarter of 2008 but that might change. It depends on how the Beta performs. :)
