Vista Recovery Partition in Laptops
For those of you, who are wondering What is Vista Recovery partition, this article is for you.
If you have bought a new laptop of HP or DELL or any such branded laptop (most likely for the first time), you might have noticed that the laptop has 10 GB partition along side the main C: partition.
The purpose of this Recovery partition is to have all the softwares, programs and OS as a backup in it so in case windows ever gets fail or crashes, you can again restore the data. That is why, many times you don’t even get windows Vista CDs with the laptop as you have the Recovery partition which has all the vista OS files as well as all the installed softwares.
So if your system crashes, you can restore it to the company shipping stage using recovery partition. The only problem is, you will lose all the customization and saved settings as well as files.
I have seen many people wondering should they delete Vista Recovery partition to get the 10 GB space, and personally I feels you should not do this. It will come handy and is a must if you don’t have original software CDs or Vista CDs. Also restoring using Recovery partition is probably 5 times faster then using CDs
