Hi, I have read your post seems that your very familar with dell comp. I have
been trying to figure out if the option is avaliable to where I can create a
set of recovery disc to restore the computer back to the factory image as it
came from the factory with all the programs preinstalled, I do have to
reisntalliont DVD but that only gives me just the windows vist home premium
os with all the programs preinstalled, I am just trying to save my self some
time, alot of time resinstalling all the programs and drivers that came with
the comptuer,
I had another computer Windows XP home edition that i was able to create a
set of system recovery disc wich i used and it recovered the entire comptuer
back to the factory image with all programs preinstalled, I had to do that
once becuase somehow a worm got past my virus protection program did damage
in my computer then when i noticed did a factory image restore and i had also
somehow wiggled its way into the recovery partion and literally destroyed
that to, I was lucky that i had created a full set of recovery disc which
allowed me to recover the computer back to the factory image,
Thats what i was wanting to do on my windows vista home premium to create
set of recovery disc that would recover the computer to the factory image
just like i had pulled it new out of the box
Would I be able to recover the comptuer back to the factory image if i had
just copied the recovery partition to cd-r/dvd-r?
just trying to stay step ahead and avoiding a big headache in the future,
sorry for the long reply
