new Vista

[DanS]

In almost 12 hours nobody's answered my essential question: what is
the difference (in detail) between a

(1) recovery partition,

(2) an image that perhaps WinImage or Acronis would create (I've got
the former),

(3) the Vista' "Backup Computer" file and

(4) a MS system recovery disk.

I actually understand the MS recovery OS disk quite well, since I used
them numerous times with my XPs and installed Vistas quite a few times
already and overall I've installed a least 30 OSs but I still do not
understand the others.

I am sure Mr. DanSS know it all. I am also sure he will never stoop so
low as to give me a helping hand, however, perhaps he will post the
information on behalf of the community for everyone's benefit?

Please Dan, show your non-knowhow!

I never claimed I know it all, although, it appears I know at least 10^6
times more than you do. Although showing knowledge here means almost
nothing, since this is not a realtime conversation. It would be very easy
for any person to ask any question, and someone with a 70 level IQ
research it for several hours before they post a correct answer. That's
how Usenet works. He could have read it 1 minute after posted, take 6
hours to look up the answer(s), then respond and you'd never know.

On the other hand, you can tell (the general intelligence level) when a
question is posted immediately.

I never answered these questions because they the most low-level
questions ever imaginable. Questions easily answered by simple web
searches thru Google.

Here's a WikiPedia link to what a recovery partition.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_partition

And, so you know how I found this link, in the Google search field I
entered:

what is a recovery partition

And that's it. The wiki link was one of the first of the 407K results
returned.

Hehe, I have been considerably distracted recently, and also rather busy
at work, and trying to get my new apartment set up.

I estimate available time as
5% apartment
45% work
50% 30 yr old blonde

and I have to sleep some time

Wow, that's great! Good for you! I need to get my priorities in order
like you! As long as you are enjoying yourself.

Drop me an e-mail with something obvious in the subject line, amusing
story but this email gets lots of spam.

Or, I'll body slam you. ;-)

I noticed you don't post in here that often recently. I do so miss you wit and witticisms!
Charlie Tame too!

Thank you, my friend.

I've had a bunch of stuff to catch up on since the holidays ended.

There are also times when you just get bored or burnt out
on a certain newsgroup.


Take care,

Michael

Yes, the same happens to me from time to time. That's why it's so
refreshing to see you two posting here once in a while.

Take care,

Michael
