If you don't already have recovery disks, as supplied by the PC
manufacturer, the chances are that an 'image' of the operating system is
stored on a hidden partition on your hard drive. You can usually make a
backup DVD of this partition. I suggest you check your PC user manual to see
how to go about creating a recovery DVD. Alternatively, most PC
manufacturer's will supply recovery disks for a fee.
