No Vista installation CD? You can still download a Vista recovery disc
A few months ago we discovered that you could create your own standalone system recovery disc using tools included in Windows Vista SP1. But if you haven't downloaded the beta version of SP1, or if something has gone horribly wrong and your computer is in an unbootable state, you might need to look elsewhere.
Fortunately the folks at NeoSmart have put together a downloadable recovery disc image. The ISO is about 120MB, and you'll have to burn it to a disc before you can use it. So you'll need a working computer of some sort to play. If you're running Vista and you don't already have an install disc or a recovery disc, we'd highly recommend creating one now. The recovery center is really one of the most useful new features included in Windows Vista.

You can also use your Windows Vista Anytime upgrade DVD too.... You can also install vista on any of your computers too if you boot off the DVD... :P
