When I first got my computer, I made 3 recovery discs. Is it possible to reformat with these dicks?

Also, I have alot of warez (I know I'm breaking a rule, but trying to be as honest as I can). 34 GB to be exact. I have a few on there that I really don't want anymore, so maybe it can be trimmed to 20GB or less. So what's the most efficient way of saving these files without a flash drive?

Best misspell ever...
If this isn't a troll.
You have to recover the whole disk.
If you delete stuff, windows won't recognize it anymore.
And you can't delete stuff off of disks anyways unless its rewritable.

^
OP spelled that word correctly...

@ OP
The recovery disc will you created will wipe out the whole OS and bring it back to factory defaults.
As in the very first time you took it out of the package.

For your 34GB of stuff, saving to a flash drive isn't the best option and shaving some off won't help.

For Vista or Win 7, you can use Windows build in disk manager and split your HDD in half. Back up your stuff to the 2nd partition and then perform a format/reinstall.

If you're doing it that way, you cannot use the recovery disc you have created!

Keep a spare hdd. If you know anyone that just upgraded ask if you can have their old hard drive. Most people throw these out. I always save mine for just such occasion.

I keep a box of old 16, 45, and 160 GB hardrives lying around, but most are corrupted/damaged. But you think the best thing to do would be to copy the warez to the old HDD and then after format put them back on? I guess that's my only choice then :\

And no, this isn't a troll. Why the fuck would this be a troll?

That's basically you'll have to do, keep a backup drive in case like this.

Easy...
Buy a external hard disk then backup your files.
I recommend buying a 2.5" Ext HDD because it's easy to carry around w/o carrying the power adapter with you.
