I am going to make a vista oem by myself using the OPK from microsoft.
I have done this before but never inserted a product key for the
autounattend. Is there any way i can -make- a product key for my own oem
instead of buying a license from microsoft and using it?
Also i have the sp1 opk... can i add sp1 to the run at install program
on my retail (build 6000) disk and then create a batch file to delete
it?
And my last issue... How can i add the option to create a recovery disk
for my clients etc... as ill use this disk for computer repairs and make
a recovery disk for customers to re-install if needed...

While I know about the issues you are asking about, the best place to get
help is on OEM Partner site. Since you have the OPK I assume you have
registered as a system builder on http://oem.microsoft.com/public/seo/partner_program.htm and are therefore
entitled to the assistance there.
This newsgroup is populated largely by technology enthusiasts and end users.
Some IT Pros hang out here to help users and there are one or two
consultants like yourself but by far the best resource for you is the
Partner site.

Sorry... I forgot that you're a Vistaheads user. I guess you deserve
extra consideration since you're Usenet-challenged.

Did you read my reply just above? In case it did not appear in your reader,
I'll just repeat it.

The OP is using a web-interface so it would be very easy to see your
reply - IF he was looking for it.
