about what happens if I have a hard drive crash. I do not have a vista DVD, since Vista came installed on the laptop, and I cannot find a way to make a bootable Vista DVD. So, if my hard drive crashes and I lose the recovery boot partition, how do I boot into Vista to be able to restore my complete backup? Thanks! |

If you do not have a recovery partition (which is only if you delete the partition), you will have no choice but to use a recovery disk. This can be provided by your manufacturer for a nominal fee.
