I don't know it's everyone taste but for me windows recovery disks are crap full of unneeed junk programs that slowndown the machine that even in some cases have adware bundled You can't choose on some models (but not all) what you wanna to install from the disk If you want to install windows and apart the drivers you cant .Also Some Recovery disk programs creators fails to create the disks a lot l(ike some VAIO models) and the let only create one set of disks WTF? it won't work on another brand machine so i don't know why they do this (i know you can copy the disk with nero but is just ridiculus what they do)

The recovery partition is also crap method Several of the HP models comesit locked from viewing/modify you can't enter to se files coz HP thinks that all users are noobs that can accidentallydelete something even when you format and reinstall with a retail windows version instead the recovery partition still continues locked from viewing on the win explorer (fortunately with some Linux LIve CDs you can overridethis crap this and view/modify whatever you want from the partition without the stupid HP message) at begiing I thought was a resident process what do this s I don't know how they can do it but I guess is something on the partition file system this only helps to some virus could hide there and you can't manually remove them coz it's blocked

I just prefer just the retail disk and the drivers apart. OEM brand companies these days are greedy to not include a decent OEMil disk without additional junkware

Answering a question asked before, "What happens if i don´t have a floppy drive?"

Simple, download a program called nLite, just follow on screen instructions, and when it asks you if you want to add drivers to the install, add the sata driver.

Once all done, boot into the windows install, but don´t press F6!!!!!!!!!!! it will come up empty, just let it go, remember the driver is already integrated ; )
