Just upgraded to W7 64bit alienware m17x,recovery disk needs to formatted?
Just upgraded to W7 64bit alienware m17x,now the recovery disk partition in the laptop(default) needs to be formatted,why is that?
i have another back up data in external disk.
The recovery partition is for a copy of the operating system for back up recovery. Open it, format it and then install Windows 7, normally when a full install of Windows is done it writes over every thing on the HD including partitions. Check with Microsoft support and the website for support of Alienware/Dell for help on this.
The recovery partition contains the original 32 bit system files.
