When I made mine, I used 2 DVD discs and it took roughly 2 hours.

I wouldn't advise turning it off, you can only make these discs once.

Mine took about an hour, after which I removed the 6 gig Recovery program/partition created by HP. After the one-time Recovery Disk creation, I saw no point in leaving the partition unless you want the option of running the Recovery Disks or the Recovery program on the HD.

Wow! I know HDD storage is cheap these days but 6Gb for an OS recovery? Thats very 
big for an OS that I still can't see doing anything (apart from nanny/nag the user 
and have some eye candy) better or worth while "upgrading" from XP Pro. I've used 
Vista on a few different PCs and it seems like the current American mind set. Trading 
freedom for a false sense of security.
