    Hey everyone,

    I plan to install the 64bit Windows 7 Business on top of the existing 32bit Windows 7 Home Premium.

    The Lenovo Recovery partition is 4.5 GB, but when I create the boot disk using the Recovery Partition, the boot disk is only 200 mb?

    Basically when I install the version of Windows 7, what happens to the recovery partition? Will it be removed? Also, what does the bootdisk really do since it's only 200 mb?

    Thanks
