About a year ago I purchased a prebuilt system from ibuypower and received a windows 7 64-bit recovery disk. Every so many months I like to clear my hard drive and start anew until recently. As of a month ago I realized I lost my recovery disk so i was posed with a few options. I called Ibuypower and they said they can mail me a new one for 35 dollars, a friend said i can burn a recovery disk but i think they are getting recovery and 'repair' disks confused, or i recently found a disk being sold on amazon for 5 bones: http://www.amazon.com/Windows-System-disc-comparable-Professional/dp/B004RDCEQO/ref=sr_1_1?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1324162614&sr=1-1 What do you guys suggest? Would this CD work just fine for me or do i need to order the CD directly from the people i purchased the PC from?
