Stop wasting time searching for the right bit version or operating system, this kit has it all. CDs included for xp, vista 32, vista 64, win7 32, win7 64 and the ACRS boot disc that can resolve virus issues, provide file recovery and gives you access to two on-disk operating systems to use when Windows can't boot.
if you're like 99% of the population, you got your new computer from Dell, acer, asus, sony, hp, toshiba, lenovo, who all have one thing in common: they don't give you a real windows installation disc with your purchase. Instead, they bundle what they call a "recovery disc" (sometimes?). This kit is the only way of recovering a broken installation. Each Windows system recovery disk has a complete recovery center that provides you with the option of recovering your system via automated recovery (searches for issues and attempts to fix them automatically), rolling-back to a system restore point, from a full PC backup, or using a command-line console for advanced repairs. Note: it cannot be used to install or reinstall windows. Don't wait until your PC crashes to get a copy! Get your recovery kit today and be a hero to friends and family when theirs systems break. Above all, make you have it so that when the time comes, you'll be ready!
What it does: the windows recovery discs can be used to access a system recovery menu, giving you options of using system restore, complete PC backup, automated system repair, and a command-line prompt for manual advanced recovery. What it doesn't do: you cannot use the windows recovery disc to re-install windows - it only fixes (not replaces!) Windows. Why you need it: if you bought your PC from a major retailer, you didn't get this CD with your hefty purchase. This set includes windows xp , vista 32 , vista 64, win7 32, and win 7 64 plus the feature-packed ACRS Boot Disc.
