Some Guy asked:


I made the recovery disks, now i want to put Snow Leopard on my computer with windows 7. Since I had windows 7 pre-installed I cant use the disks to do it. So if I install snow Leopard then go to bootcamp and use the windows 7 recovery disks will it dual boot windows 7 and Snow Leo?

Tora J asked:


I am trying to make recovery disks for the first time on my brand new hp laptop for windows 7. I haven’t done anything else on the laptop, i went right to making the recovery disks. The disk write completes, but on verification of disk one, it fails at about 90-95%. It says an error has occurred, it suggests for me to put in a new disk and start over. I have tried this four or five different times and it always fails. I am very frustrated and any help is appreciated. Thanx in advance.
The computer can read the burnt DVD-R, but still i have to go through windows 7 recovery manager and it wont allow me to go on to disk 2..

Ishy asked:


I want to upgrade my Dell Inspiron desktop from Vista to 7. Its getting quite sluggish and its got a lot of stuff I no longer need; so I have backed up what I need and plan to a clean install. However, will this affect my the factory recovery partiton (D:) should I want to install drivers or (heaven forbid) reinstall Vista?

There is no option to make recovery discs, so this is pretty much my only option.

Thanks.

Ray Ray asked:


I’ve just ordered my free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7. My laptop which was recently purchased came with Vista already installed on it. I want to be able to format and reinstall Windows from time to time if needed and have heard that I’ll need to create a Vista recovery disc first. Is this true and how do I do so?

Alex asked:


My Windows 7 came in the mail today (finally, it only took 3 months for a ground ship) and it says that I should have recovery disks for Vista before downloading 7. I know how to download them but I don’t have DVDs handy. I was wondering if I could download WIndows 7 without recovery disks for Vista.

I’m told you have to make your own recovery disk for windows 7, but with that disk can you restore the computer to “factory state”.(How it was when it was new, meaning delete everything)
