Preinstalled Win 7 laptop need to make reformat disk
I just picked up a new laptop pre installed with windows 7, everything is running great but I am trying to make a complete reformat disk on a DVD (not a repair disk) before I go on the net and actually use the computer.
Ideally I want to wipe the system clean and put on just windows 7 with no bloatware.
I have made a repair disk its 160 mb or something, but I know that is not the complete version of the OS.
I could also make an image of my current computer which I just made, but again its not a clean copy of windows 7.
What I dont understand if something happens to my harddrive, what then? is the recovery disk going to magically bring back my OS at 160 mb from the bios alone?
I am running a VAIO VPC-CW17FX any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
