Creating a boot disc

Ive just had a strange one where my pc wouldn't boot up, it stayed flashing
stating "boot from cd". I managed to sort it out but its worrying me incase
it happens again as i don't have a windows disc (it wasn't supplied with pc
when originally purchased) I upgraded my pc to vista with disc but i dont'
have a boot disc, i know you can create them yourself but i haven't a clue
how to do it. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.....

You had XP on the computer originally, before updating to Vista.
You should have made Recovery disks from the XP version, or have been given
an XP disk when purchasing your original computer

Contact the computer manufacturer, and ask them if they would send you an
OEM copy of XP, (for a small charge) which you bought off them pre-installed
on your computer.

Another thing posters here are doing here is using Acronis True image to make
a complete backup of their system to an external drive in case of hard drive
failure.

Put a thread in here about Acronis; you will get answers!
