Is ther a way to create a Recovery Partition on a computer that you built yourself. If so, how and with which software. My last computer came with Windows XP Home SP1. When I updated it to Windows Vista the program that came with my computer was Phoenix MBR F4 Recovery. This program wasn't compatible with Windows Vista or Windows 7. Are there any like it that are ?

Surely it's far better to avoid brand name computers and have a machine built by a local person, and ask for a FULL installation disc to be supplied. This applies of course to desk tops only. In addition, you get a machine without loads of trial programs that you do not want, and just think, NO NORTON OR McAFFEE.

A recovery partition I'm not sure of, but you can make a backup image of your C drive which is essentially the same thing.

A very good, free program for you to use would be Macrium Reflect Free.

It's fast, user-friendly and doesn't hog resources.

I use ACRONIS.

Yes, I've used Macrium Reflect on my Vista x64 pc. I'd rather find a program like the Phoenix MBR F4 Recovery that came with my Windows XP pc. See, I'm building my own Windows 7 pc and was wonderiing if I could get any currnet programs that would make a hidden restore partition after I have Windows 7, my other software installed, setup and updated, so I can resore it to that time in about 10 - 15 minutes like the Phoenix program did on XP. I'd rather do this than waste hour's on clean install's every 2- 3 moths like I'm doing with Vista.
