My Lenovo Laptop recovery partition useful at all?

I will install Windows 7, so you do not want anything that has an XP as the preloaded that came with my laptop, but still want to keep the recovery characteristics of Lenovo without limiting my options. I do not want any bloat ware partitions, however. I'm not exactly clear what they do.

I think the other is for drivers, but other members confirm.

Not a lot, I remember trying to get Ethernet drivers from it without any luck, but maybe just XP.

It is my impression that most of the two partitions for system backups, and the pre-boot rescue and recovery environment, while the smallest is used to restore the laptop to factory condition (i.e. contains the operating system with preinstalled software and drivers).

Did you just propose the immediate removal of rescue disks and create on your own later? The preload is a useless OS XP 32-bit, so it's not exactly helpful.

I am left alone for now. I have enough disk space for the moment.

No, I suggest the creation of rescue disks, and then delete the partitions. You can not rescue disks without partitions.

I just wiped out everything and replaced it with windows 7. If there is a problem, that's what the warranty.

If you have your media and you can reinstall your operating system and drivers passing through their own front and clean everything. I Vistal Ultimate 64 on my laptop and recovery nuked because they need it.

Agreed. Standard Lenovo (and IBM before them) the policy has been CHARGE $ $ $ for the recovery DVD if inadvertently wipe and then wants to return. Usually only receive free DVD if your hard drive or not you have a very good representative on the phone.
