If u buy a hp laptop u don't get a windows disc with it, I seen some hp have a cyberlink program that burns a recovery to 3 dvds of its os, but my friends hp doesn't have that it just burns about 25 percent on a single dvd and its complete. Surely that can't be right? |

Also , don't forget to make a repair disc . It only takes a cd , and it backs up those windows folder files that malicous programs like to eat .

So is there any way to partion about 10gig and just save the backup there, then to install it again just hit F8 at startup to reinstall windows

the recovery disk backs up windows in its entirety as it is currently installed thus 3 disks/13 gigs but what you realy want is an iso image of the o.s. the 1 you have a key for. m.s. allow image download from there offical distributers so as long as you have a propietory licence (valid key) you can get a copy legaly at no cost.

in answer to your last quaestion veers its a no im afraid... do as i suggested. but when you get the image b4 you burn it, go to your laptops site and get all the drivers and insert them into the image disk in a new folder. this way you have an all in 1 solution on 1 disk. i did theis with my win7 ultimate. i have the windows image an in that i have all my drivers from gigabyte, creative, and ati.

so when i install i just do it all off the 1 disk. it takes less than 1 hour total to get up and running, then all thats left is updates and antimalware.
