Save Backup - To HiGrade Hidden Partition
Hello guys , Today i thought it was time to upgrade the missus's laptop to a more user friendly and versatile Operating system. So as any normal person would do , i placed windows 7 onto her Higrade m760s. Now theres a few teething problems , but nothing major.
Now what i would like to do is. The Laptop Came with X86 Vista, And a 13gb Hidden Partition with all the recovery information on it.
Now seen as i have windows 7 ultimate on the laptop now it would make sense to have a nice Backup / recovery partition so if she does anything wrong its a simple fix to get back to how ive set it up. Problem being i would like to wipe the 13gb partition and have this install replace it.
So tbh what im asking is
: What software is useful for cloning a system backup / restore
: can you overwrite a factory restore with your own
: Can you have an option like 'Press f7 to recover your system' on the load menu like it used to have Pre Win7.
Thanks for looking - Ive kept EVERYTHING standard atm. Bar the neccessary programs / drivers so the image is as clean and true as possible.
** Small Edit ** I can see the 13gb Partition in the Disc Management ection but cant do anything with it obviously.
