what I mean by this.Can i take my windows installation disk, get the image from it, partion my hdd and format the partion, and put the files onto that partion so I always have the repair disk just in case?

my thought was that if lets say a windows file was missing and i couldnt access it, then i could just boot from the partion and use recovery manager without the disk.
