HOWTO: backup Factory Restore Image (from secret partition)

I have a Dell Vostro 1400 laptop. It did not come with any CD/DVDs.



Specs:

Windows Vista Business (!)

2GB RAM



I know about the F8, Factory Restore Image in the secret partition.
But am wondering how can one make a backup of the Factory Restore
Image onto DVD? Would I use DriveImage XML? Is the Factory Restore
Image on the secret partition anything to do with Windows Vista
(PCRestore)? Because we access this via Windows's imfamous F8
command....

Call Dell and ask for the disks. It should have come with them.

I want to go through the recovery factory default partition.... Dell's
CDs don't do that kind of thing anymore.
