HOW CAN I MAKE A BACKUP DISC of my WIN VISTA

hey guys....

i have a ques. i actually hav decided to get myself a laptop with win vista preloaded. but i was told that the installation disc of win vista wont accompany the laptop*gigasmilies.googlepages.com/20.gif.

since i want to partition my laptop as soon as i receive it according to my convenience, so i wanted to know HOW CAN I MAKE A BACKUP DISC of my os so that i can install i after repartitioning my hdd*gigasmilies.googlepages.com/52.gif.

Is there any other way... like if i note down the product id of my copy of win vista, can i install it with any other disc of vista?? *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/102.gif

instead of repartioning you can reize ur partitions

u hv a feature of creating recovery discs in vista....twill pre-load all system drivers n applications including the swsetup folder in ur main drive wit windows setup....

2ndly...u cannot use 3rd party apps lyk partition magic on vista....so no point partitioning n again reinstalling vista n all mess....try foll

your second point is not entirely correct
you can use third party apps like Acronis Disc Director 10 to resize your partition.

These laptops come with an EISA partition which contains the backup, and a backup utility in windows make recovery DVDs (just check with them before buying). So you can back up an image of the EISA partition, remove all the bloatware, and make another backup of the system partition.
