    Hey i'm buying a new laptop tomorrow and it doesnt come with a recover disc.

    And as soon as I install windows, I would like to create a recover disc for it.

    How do I do this?

    p.s. I'm getting a Asus laptop, If thats any importance.

    Most new computers have their own recovery section where you create your own recovery discs which is an easy walk through guide, sony vaio`s have this so im sure most other brands will have it as well as it seems the norm these days and its a cheaper option for the manufactureres rather than having to make thousands of discs..

    You can use vlite to make a restore disc with all of your drivers and such.

    Like I said before, use vlite on the current OS disc you have to make one for your Asus. You can integrate the key that comes with your Asus so that you don't have to put it in when you install.

    Installing drivers individually after the clean install is much easier than integerating with Vlite.
