Solve : Are 6 Year Old Recovery CD's Useless??

1.	Solve : Are 6 Year Old Recovery CD's Useless??
Answer» Considering the huge NUMBER of updates required to the 6 year old ORIGINAL installation, is it worth keeping the recovery CD's if I keep a back-up image of my INTERNAL hard DRIVE? What is the difference between my recovery CD's and the D partition which CONTAINS recovery files? Thanks.My thinking would be that if you have NOT determined (by use) the reliability of the "a back-up image" i would continue to keep the original recovery disc. It remains a form of insurance to enable recovery of your computer even though it would be in a diminished capacity due to the absence of all the updates,etc. truenorthI probably have every CD ever issued to me for software... Once in awhile i have to purge the desk drawers for space and move the others to a storage shelf but it's not like they take up a ton of space... me too.truenorthYeah...but you may not wanna see the shelves.....
