Backing up Hard drive

Due to issues outlined in another thread, I need to re-install the Vista OS on my laptop. Checking on Google, there seems to be a way to do this without losing all programs and settings. My problem is that I don't have an original OS disk. All I have is a copy of the restore partition that came on my HP laptop.
Can anyone tell me how I can do this?

There is only one way to do this, you must back up your OS. You can use the free Macrium Reflect to back up your Operating System (hard drive) and then use then restore the image to the hard drive of your choice.
If you cannot boot the computer, this method will not be viable.

You should always back up your hard drive prior to experiencing problems

Thanks for your response. I do have full clone backup of another drive that was in this machine before I installed a larger drive.
Will see if that does the job.
