    Well, that's me. I have a limited amount of time to set up a new Acer (Veeesta Premium preinstalled) over the holidays and I'm hoping somebody will answer a couple of questions for me.
    #1- About how long does it take to burn the recovery disks?
    #2- Does the HDD still come FAT 32 (is that even possible w/Vista?) and basically split in half, plus the recovery partition?

    I'll only have about 1 evening to get the thing sorted so if you can answer these questions I'd appreciate it.
