Hey,
windows Vista actually comes with integrated software to hlp in backing up and restoying.
In control panel click the icon - backup and restore center.
there are then two options
- Back up files
- Restore Files
change the settings in back up files. there you are able to back up files to a cd etc and choose what files you want to backup
however if you are looking to make a cd that u can boot from or use to recover corrupted files etc you will most likely need to download a 3rd party software.
Some easy to use ones are
Acronis or R-Drive Image, though they are only trials.
Hi. I work for HP and we also use recovery partitions, but we supply a program preinstalled to make recovery cds/dvds. I'm sure Dell would as well. Call Dell and ask.
My name is Richard; I am part of Dell's Online Community Outreach group here in Round Rock, Texas. I can answer your question relating to Windows OS backup cd creation. This was something we offered a couple of years ago; it was called On-Drive OS Media. We have since discontinued that option on our systems.
