    After reformat, is it possible to restore original partitions from installation CDs?

    When I received my xps530, I took a full backup of HD but unfortunately it seems to be corrupted :-( Is there some way to re-create original content of HD by using installation DVD/CDs? If yes, how?

    Or is there anyone who could provide HD backup of 250Gb HD (I am having Vista home premium)?

    Thanks in advance!

    Follow les's guide (the sticky at the top of the page) but you can't get back the restore CD.
