Hey all,
its been a long time since i posted here
I have a minor query about the Recovery Disk of a laptop.
I just got a Lenovo y560p laptop. With a 500 gb hard-drive.
It has a 420gb OS partition and the remaining 80 gb the recovery partition with drivers n stuff.
Now, i can create a recovery disk from that rite? Now, the question is that once i create the recovery disk.I am going to create more partitions for data storage and ubuntu installation. So, if in the future, i use the recovery disk i created, will it format the whole hard drive and get me to the state it was when i created the disk. Or will it just format the default Windows OS partition and leave the rest of my partitions untouched?
Some of my friends think that the recovery disk is kinda like a clone disk.So it will put the lappy HD back to the state it was when i created it.Hence, i might possible lose the other partitions n the data.
So, does anyone has any idea about this? Or tried the recovery process..?
Thank you.
