Win 7 complete upgrade from preinsalled vista

Hi i have done a complete upgrade to windows 7 from a preinstalled vista. The vista came with my laptop and it had a recovery backup drive on my hard drive.

I did create recovery disks but i dont think they are working correctley as when i put them in on a boot up it says windows is loading files but stops halfs way.

So my question is, if i ever need or want tto go back to my preinstalled vista could i and how would i perform this step.

I still have my recovery partition and i have not messed with that.

But i cannot see my recovery partition in windows 7 but i know its there as the memory is not availble.

Regards Paul

Go to Disk Management, it should show up there. It probably was not assigned a drive letter for safety reasons.

I went into disk managment and it was there, it doesent bother me to much i would just like to know if i need to i can use that partition to go back to my preinstalled version?

And is there anyway of backing it up?

well ill give it a go with a backup, not sure if it would work but i have a 4gb psp memory card and not sure if i would be able to boot from that.

Ill give it a go. Thanks
