| 731895 | 2008-12-23 04:15:00 | Does this mean the entire operating system can be recovered from the partition when a fresh re-installation of the OS is required? Cheers :) |

| 731896 | 2008-12-23 04:18:00 | Yup thats what it is for. You should be able to restore it, by pressing F10 or something after you reboot. It should say something on the post screen what key to press. The system should have a menu somewhere, so you can create the disks for it somewhere. |

| 731897 | 2008-12-23 04:24:00 | yep it's for doing a recovery - sometimes it will allow one of two options - either a full reinstall back to factory as it was purchased wiping all data, programs etc - or sometimes will offer a repair install - keeping all data programs etc. If you have the option to make a recovery disk do so - because if the Hard Drive fails it will take the recovery partition with it. If it doesn't have that option then either use a program to clone the drive and make a image, or even try nLite and make a bootable CD from the working OS. The main folder thats needed is the i386 folder. |
