Do I need a system image?
Hello,
My hard drive went belly up last week and I just got a replacement from WD and got Windows 7 Pro installed and I'm back up and running.
I'm going to partition my hard drive. When I originally purchased the computer the vendor had included a system image on a separate partition.
Do I need to do that? I don't actually completely understand what they're for but I BELIEVE they do the same thing as sticking the Windows 7 disk in and re-installing. If I have the Windows 7 disk and plan to not lose it, then can't I just plan to use that if something goes wrong?
If it is advisable that I create a separate partition, I would appreciate a link to a good tutorial or just a good explanation or something.
Thank you!
Tim
