Try creating the recovery disks -- even if it is just a disk image, it
will be handy if you ever want to change hard drives or have a crash. It
may be an actual Windows Install disk with all the non-relevant drivers
stripped out. (there are some cool MSFT tools that allow a manufacturer
to tweak the Windows distribution disk).

One you create the recovery disk, you can load it into the CD-ROM drive
and take a look at it.
If it has a directory off the root called \i386 and if that directory
has \system32 then it most likely is a full installation disk and not
just a disk image.
