dual booting with recovery media

09-05-2008

IIf I set up a vista/linux dual boot system on my new laptop, and
subsequently need to re-install vista, will the vista recovery disks
that came with the laptop be sufficient or do I need to buy a separate
full vista installation disk? I'm worried that the recovery disks will
blast the linux partition.

They will. Recovery disks will normally put the machine back to the state in
which you received it from the factory....
