    I have replaced the Vista with Windoes 7 on my FZ11S. Two questions:

    1. Can I make the recovery partition hold the Win 7? and

    2. Can I make recovery discs for Win 7?

    If not, should I try and recover the space occupied by the recovery partition as it holds vista anyway?

    Yes, you can make a system recovery disc. After I completed my install, I backed up an image on an NAS drive, and created a system recovery dvd just in case something goes down the road.

    I also kept my Vista partition just in case. Its only 4-5GB so I won't be missing much.
