Running Repair Disk

[Guest]

When running Repair disk, do the security settings like security policy,
permissions, etc... get reset?


Thanks in advance

What repair disk? If you refer to a factory repair disk, so wipe the system
and restore back to shipped state and some don't.
More info needed.

OEM's will often supply restore disks or hidden partitions on the hard drive
that completely restore back to original state.
Your settings will carry over in a repair install, but have a backup anyway.

Contact the manufacturer of your computer and ask them
for advice as to the proper procedure to follow when using
their restore or recovery disks.
