ASR in Vista

I am trying to find ASR in Vista and cannot find it. Not even in help and
support. Where is it? I read that you can use USB devices instead of
disquette. Is it true?

Windows Speech Recognition? Start/All Programs/Accessories/Ease of Access
or Start/Control Panel/Ease of Access

Yes, but none of them are called ASR as in XP. i think that the one described
as restore from an installation CD or DVD is the equivalent

There is no ASR in Vista. That is a feature associated with ntbackup
available in XP Pro ( and I gave up on that years ago. It never worked
properly). Ntbackup was dropped in Vista.

In Vista Business and Ultimate there is Complete PC Backup which is a type
of drive imaging. With that the system can be restored by booting from the
Vista DVD.
