HP Notebook PCs*-* Locating the Vista Operating System Discs*

I use Acronis disk image...
I installed Vista on an old 400Gb HD installed all the updates, SP1, all my drivers, software, etc. and activated it with MS.
Booted up with old drive and used Acronis disk Image to clone the 400Gb disk onto the new drive.
When it was finished, I set bios to boot off the new drive and disconnected the old one.
Now if I have a major issue I'll boot off the old 400Gb and clone it to the new one again.
No more activating Vista, no more installing a bunch of software and drivers, no more all night computer reformat and reinstall everything nights
