Can OEM disk be used as system repair disk?

[phatthefirst]

Hi guys I am going to try to create a second partition on my hard drive and

the software I am using to do this (MiniTool Partition Wizard) says I should

back up everything in case something goes wrong.

I have made a system image on another portable hard drive.

I have an OEM version of windows 7 and I am wondering whether i can boot from the disk

and use it to restore my system from the system image i have created in case something goes wrong.

Thanks.

Yes you can repair too.

The only difference between retail and OEM is the license key!

U can use the free Clonezilla to make a back up @ http://clonezilla.org/
