Hello,
My hard drive recently failed on my laptop but the partition was still intact, so I made the recovery dvds and bought a new SSD not knowing that I couldn't recover to a smaller hard drive. I just want to get it functional again with Windows 7 and I have a product key so is there any reason I shouldn't just get a windows installation disk or are there important drivers on my recovery disks that necessitate me purchasing Acronis?
