Acer Aspire One - Recovery Disk Question

[CWLee]

Just bought a new Acer Aspire One, with XP, and it works
just fine. However, I have a few minor items I'd like some
help with.

(If there is a more appropriate newsgroup for this question,
please re-direct me.)

Every few minutes a pop-up appears reminding me to create a
recovery disk. OK, I'm happy to do that, except that
apparently the only way to do it is to an optical disk, and
the Acer Aspire One does not come with a device to
read/write to an optical disk. The clerk that sold this to
me said there was a way to create the recovery disk onto a
memory stick, but the software doesn't seem to allow that.
The computer recognizes the memory stick in the USB port,
but the recovery software does not.

Question #1: Can I create a "recovery disk" on a memory
stick, and if so how?

Question #2: Regardless of the answer to #1, how can I get
rid of the very annoying pop-up reminder that appears every
few minutes?

Many thanks.
