I just bought a netbook with Win7 and system recovery (restore, installation) in a hidden partition… I want to know if Clonezilla is safe to backup both Win7 and hidden installation partition, so that I could restore the disk in the future as it came new from the store… I want to install linux but don't want to lose the original windows system/license…
I need to know if it works with large disks and netbooks, since I've found disks that restore files but do not boot again because BOOTMGR or something like, I guess the geometry changes when restoring or something like for some disks
Thanks for any comment/help!

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
For the recovery partition, Clonezilla does work for some models of laptop, like the IBM thinkpad.
However, since there are so many models of laptop, it's hard to say Clonezilla will definitely work for all the laptops.
