So Im getting a new PC (laptop) with Vista home Basic installed (yuck!)  and Im thinking it probably comes with a restore disk rather than the proper disk???

I was thinking of installing XP on another partition, but then of course I will lose access to the Vista partition -  I know there are ways of getting this back but they can be a bit complicated and annoying, so Im thinking if I then install Windows 7 RC will this find and restore access to both XP and Vista?

or at least make it easier with BCDedit or something similar?
