[pchelpers] Re: Operating systems

I  think you misunderstood.  I mean instead of getting a cd with your pc
like you used to, suppliers give you a OS on a hidden partition and you use
a restore disc to put your pc right if it goes wrong.  I liked the old way
of formatting and reinstalling from the CD rom.  How can i copy the OS from
the hidden partition to a cd so i can keep this as a back up.   Or maybe
you don't get a complete OS on the hidden partition ?

does this make it any clearer
