Re: recovery disc help

Hello Ripzx, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Since you do not have a OEM (store bought) brand computer (ex: Dell, HP, Gateway, etc.....) from looking at your system specs, you will not have a OEM recovery manager type program installed.


Instead, you can create a recovery disc from Vista to use to only repair Vista with and not be able to reinstall Vista with though.

If this is not what you meant, then please clarify.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: recovery disc help

yeah i kinda figured that but is it possible to create a disc (or 2) that i can load up as new with everything as i have it on my partiton so that if ever i have to reformat i can just put the discs in and load everything as is?
and thanx for your response on this also.

Ripzx,

Since you have Vista Ultimate, you can also create a system image of your hard drive that you can use to restore Vista back like it was when the image was created.
