Windows 7 recovery disc
Hi,
Can someone tell me if I use a Windows 7 recovery disc on a system with a pre-installed image from the manufacture (HP), will this work?
Reason being, I screwed up the system by uninstalling all HP software and now the registry is screwed up!
Does the recovery disc fix the registry to its windows default or just windows files?
or will I need a Windows 7 genuine disc and start fresh? (I would rather fix than start fresh).
I have 4 partitions;
(1) hidden set as active named system.
(2) boot drive Windows directory.
(3) manufactures image.
(4) manufactures tool drive. (FAT32)
If I use the Windows 7 recovery disc will I have to set partition (2) as active first? then reboot with the recovery disc?
Then I can format (1), (3) and(4) later after the recovery if I choose?
Thanks.
