Can I install Vista from a backed up install into vmware or do I need 
actual install disks?

I just got home and have a new laptop (Refurb Gateway P6831FX 17" 
screen, 3G) that I need to back up since I didn't get install disks with it.

I would normally not even worry about it, but I may need to run Autocad 
and some others windows programs on it.  Also I can not find a way to 
our HP plotters via linux (topic for another thread).
So I want to have windows on it, but would love to have my linux for 
most things.

Thanks,

Matt Wehland
