Boot disks and Restore disks?
Can any kind person explain the difference between a
Boot disk and Restore disk? The reason I am asking is my Hard disk appears to be on its last legs and when it finally goes I will have to buy and install a new one. I have a Restore CD (actually 2 that came with my computer) and I have read a little about Boot disks. so .... When I start my computer with the new Hard disk what do I use? (as it will be blank) a Boot disk? or a Restore disk? or both? many thanks |

A boot disk is a disk that your computer can use to boot. A restore disk is a disk that contains some sort of restore information.
A boot disk may contain restore information and a recovery disk may be bootable. In your case, you should just boot from the restore CD and follow the pretty on-screen instructions. |
