Vista Home Premium OS disk.?

Question

I have a HP Pavilion PC that i bought about a year and a half ago that did not come with a Operating system disk. If i buy a Vista disk will it recover my computer if i ever need to? I have made a recovery cd for my computer but am not a big fan of this recovery cd thing because recovery cd's have failed me before on a older XP computer.

Answer 1

well, a recovery disk is a disk that is made for a specific computer, which will put it to its factory settings.  they either come with the computer or you can order them online.  if you just buy a vista premium disk at the store, thatll be good, just that it will be a clean OS with nothing installed on your computer, better than a recovery disk that came wit a comp if you ask me

Answer 2

yea..if u buy a vista disk , it will recover your computer

Answer 3

Vista disk....O.K
