If they were coming from somewhere like Technet, MSDN then they would be fine.

Better off borrowing a OEM DVD and using the COA on the back of the laptop.


Oh BTW -- you wont find any ISO files in the recovery partition- Vista was one of the OS that came with .WIM files, (Microsoft Windows Imaging file format) You cant burn them to a DVD like an ISO file and install the OS, they dont work like that.
