How To Make A Factory Image Partition

I have a question is there a way to make a Factory Image partition in Vista Basic? What I'm asking is I have tried to reinstall windows on a new hard drive that I upgraded to on a laptop and it still won't make the factory image on its own partition.

Thanks,

Kevin

install easeus partition manager. open it up, and at the top of the list of volumes, there should be a partition with the drive name ' * '. right click, hover over advanced options, and then 'change driver letter'. choose any. click ok, then click apply near the top of the window. in my computer, it should show up.

Then at this point it shouldn't exactly matter. As long as you have the CD's or DVD's for recovery purposes you will be fine
