That's a feature provided by the computer OEM, not by Vista. Check the
documentation that came with the computer or contact the computer's tech
support. Sometimes it's a one shot deal, but hopefully it there will be a
way to invoke it.

Hello. To make an MS DOS startup disk, or a Computer Boot Disk: insert a
floppy disk into drive A. Then right click and click Format. you should
see a column pop-up. Check the "Create a MS DOS Boot Disk". Nothing else
matters. Then click the start button at the bottom of the column. If it
does not work because it is write protected, turn the write protection
off. To do this, turn the disk over and move the write protect button
located here.

Then when it is formatted, a dialog box will pop-up and say that it
finished sucessfully, or that an error occured. Hope this helps:

I think it's an option to create a restore set so that you can
reinstall to factory condition. Try looking in the Start Menu. You
should see some kind of disc burning tool with a shortcut to burn a
restore set. It should be there someplace.
