With Vista there is no backup disc, when you first start a computer with it you should make recovery discs. Most people are not aware of this

X2, there should be a recovery burning program pre-loaded on your laptop from the brand of the laptop.

The external drive will generally have a lower transfer speed - things could run slower.

My solution? Buy XP. Sounds stupid, but I really don't like Vista.. And XP finally runs quite stable now.
Other than that, try to get the recovery off the external.. I'm surprised the laptop didn't come with a recovery disc for situations like this.
