Will recovery software work even if i format the whole hard drive?
compaq persario. recovery software from the cd, not from the hidden recovery partition. also, i have office 2007 (genuine), how will it know i’m installing it on the same computer and not another computer? i only have 3 liecenses and i have 3 computers.
The recovery CDs should work, however the Office 2007 software may require that you call their activation center once it tries to activate over the internet. Assuming nobody else is actually heavily using the key, they do understand the need to reinstall occasionally.
