    Is the recovery disk I made using the Windows Vista utility considered a "bootable" Vista DVD? Also, how can I get a bootable DVD if those are not?

    Yes, it should be bootable. Try it by booting from it ;)

    Yes its bootable. Just make sure your Optical drive is the first boot priority or else it will boot your HD first.
