    When I install the Gateway Vista disk, does it erase everything on my computer such as the accessories and like Solitare and stuff? If it does can I add this on when I install the disk?

    Make a restore disk, and a driver/apps backup disk, read you manual, it will tell you how.

    Windows Vista has a built-solitaire game that will install when you install vista, I suggest making the disk though because the Power2Go ISO burner/saver program is worth keeping

    Is the Power2Go ISO burner/saver program just called Power2Go? Also when you can make a recovery disk it also gives you the option to make an ISO image what is that?

    ISO is the same thing I made both just in case.
