| 1171831 | 2011-01-22 22:32:00 | Hi Guys, I have been a bit slack and have not made a rescue CD/DVD for my new Windows 7 desktop. I am going to do it now. Start, type in System Repair in the search box. Have you all got one? Have you ever had to use one ? Do you add any other programs to it ? (Notice how Americans use discs?) |

| 1171832 | 2011-01-22 22:38:00 | Yes I have got one. Yes I have used it. I did not add any other programs to it as I have other CDs with other tools. |

| 1171833 | 2011-01-22 22:59:00 | No I do not have one. No, I do not need one as I have a Windows 7 DVD. :D | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1171834 | 2011-01-23 00:13:00 | Well I was a silly boy then. I do have a Windows 7 DVD. But everyone says you should have a rescue disk. So now I have the best of both worlds. |

The reason Microsoft offered this feature was because OEMs (Dell etc) usually provide recovery discs (restoring junk as well :yuck:) rather than proper Windows DVDs. Microsoft's recovery disc is effectively a standard Windows disc without the installation files. :) |

| 1171839 | 2011-01-23 07:18:00 | I always figured disk was for non removable or maginetic media like harddisks and floppy disks, whereas disc was for cd's and whatnot. And I believe I have a windows 7 rescue disc. But I also have a windows 7 dvd as well as factory restore discs for my laptop. |
