Hi there,
Help required for extracting a bootable image of the OS only (Vista) from the recovery media created ?
Use of the recovery media takes the system to the original factory installed image (which formats the entire HDD thus compelling one to take backup of user files before recovery).
The requirement is to self create a Bootable OS only (excluding the bundled crap stuff usually pushed by the OEMs) media whcih'll allow partitioning, selection of partitions etc... before installing the OS. Ofcourse I dont want to let go the OEM license that I paid for, so no question of using a retail version...I know the procedures for XP based systems, but it won't work on Vista. Pls guide...
Thanks in advance..
