Sorry for the bad english and bad knowledge of pc right away :)
Basically, few ears ago, guy who was fixing my computer made a restore CD for me, now everytime my comp crashes, i insert cd (not sure whats its called, boot cd or w/e) and right away on the black screen it says type ~rimage or something like that to restore ur comp, 10-20 mins and, woho, i got clean computer, everything is basic, only windows and antivirus is there, BUT, w/e i saved on disk D stays. The question is, how do i make that kind of cd for my laptop now? Once again, the cd that will restore only disk C, and other disks will have same information that they did before crash after doing restore. Thanks alot, if its posible, explain it to me in simple words ) if no, explain how ever you can. Thanks

We have a fine tutorial describing how to make a recovery DVD that will allow you to recover, in the event that the computer will not boot.

http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/141820-create-recovery-disc.html

This description of this Tutorial is on the first page:
The Recovery Disc created here does not install Vista. It is also not like the OEM Vista recovery DVD that comes with most store bought computers. Instead it is used only to boot from to repair your already installed Vista. See the example below for the options available from the recovery disc when booted from.

or

You can boot to an image recovery, for both 7 or Vista.

This CD will bring you to the System Recover Options. You will have a choice of recovery methods. One is restore factory specs, which makes the computer just like the day you brought it home.
If the DVD that you had in the past made your computer like new, it has to be acquired from the computer MFG.
If you bought Vista and have the DVD, you can just insert it in the drive and make your computer like it was new.
Some computers allow you to push an f-key during boot that will allow you to restore to factory specs. If you supply the name of the manufacturer and model of your computer, I would be glad to try and help.
You can boot to an image recovery as shown in the tutorial in my above post..

Hope it answers your question and is what you wanted.
