Recovery CD
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!

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. -- Gene E.
