I created a set of 3 recovery DVDs when I first got my laptop.
Windows 7 Home Premium was pre-installed.
Now I wanna know:
Can I use these disks to install my genuine OS in my new HDD?

320GB Saegate SATA HDD
2GB RAM

As long as its the same system, or the same model of system, and the new disk is large enough, it should be no trouble at all.
I've found that most modern systems do have larger multi-dvd restore disks. My guess is its probably a result of using WIM as the basis for the restore disk (which is good, since its a standard), and rather than firing up a script to installing software, already having it on the install image.
