Recovery CD

[ExecMan]

Hi,

I have Windows 7 64 bit. A client gave me his laptop running Vista
32, which will not boot. I booted with my Windows 7 recovery CD. It
wants to repair something. I do not think this is safe since they are
2 different windows versions.

Can I create a Vista recovery CD from Windows 7? Or, can I use my 64
bit recovery CD to fix the issue? Or, where is a good place to
download an ISO?

Many thanks!

Stick to the ISO,the other two options are not possible.

Sorry, I can't help with a recommendation for a valid ISO.

Yes. You would want the 32-bit Vista Recovery Disk for your friend's
32-bit Vista machine.

As I understand it, they call it Recovery in Vista and Repair in 7, but
they are conceptually the same thing.

I can't give you an opinion of the quality or safety of the ISO, of
course.
