    Hi.



    I want to install new 128GB SSD in my Portege R700-173.

    I want to make Recovery Media first. But I don't understand what that DVD will contain.

    Will it be Windows7 installation disc ? (I will be able to install new Windows on my new SSD ? ) with additional Toshiba drivers and utilities ?

    or that recovery disc will contain some kind of image of an actual system ?



    I'm thinking also about just moving my C: (windows) partition from the old HDD to the new one SSD (with Acronis software - i did that with my desktop computer)

    should I move only my C: partition (with proper 4k offset) ?

    What's that SYSTEM 400MB partition? should I move it as well ?

    Toshiba Recovery Media Creator says that it needs ~6.6GB

    So what beside Windows will recovery media contain ?
