I need to replace hard drive on my HP dv6000 laptop… Will it work to install new hdd then use recovery? »

If i create a recovery disk, am i then able to format my harddrive, and use the disk to reinstall?

Half of my laptop (Sony Vaio NW) harddrive is full, i want to completely format the hard drive and, basically, start over. However i was wondering 3 things.

1. if i make recovery disks, will i be able to format the harddrive, put the recovery disks i made in, and boot the computer, then reinstall the Windows Vista?

2. I used an upgrade disk to Windows 7 on the laptop, will the recovery disks make a recovery of the upgrade to 7 or the original vista on the laptop?

3. will i be able to use my windows 7 upgrade after i have recovered the disk onto the laptop?

1. Yes
2. recovery will recover whatever is on the disk. Since your computer comes with vista and you upgraded to windows 7 yourself, it will reinstall vista.
3. Yes i think you can, since it’s an independent upgrade
