I recently purchased a Gateway laptop AMD Turion X2. I have a recovery partition on drive D: and it say's "Protected by PC Angel Recovery Partition Warning! This area of your hard disk (or partition) contains files used for system recovery. .....blah blah blah" Well I have a few questions all relating to the same thing and I've been reading the forums and I couldn't find an answer. I have a Gateway Operating System Disc. Now I dont have a test system to try this on, but I want to know if the DVD will install the way i got the system (w/ some bloatware) or do a clean install. Or do I simply need to vlite the image and then that problem is gone? Also if i can vLite the image, do I need to integrate drivers if im using the image from the "gateway" operating system disc or download them from the internet or vLite automatically do that since I'm using the image of the gateway disc? I searched on the forums and googled and couldn't find my answer. My post may sound confusing but vista is a lot to understand, its a big jump from having a compaq intel celeron 800 mhz desktop with me preinstalled, then a few years ago i redid the system a few times with a winxp corp cd slipstreamed with sp2.
