This might seem obvious, but I can't find the answer anywhere.
My computer didn't come with any install discs. Instead, it comes pre-installed with Samsung Recovery Solution 4. This enables you to make a System Software Backup disc, which "enables backing up of the system software to another storage device".
You can also do a "Complete backup", which in my case is 14GB, so 4 DVDs. This means "you can easily restore your computer to the current status using the backup image".
All I want is a Windows 7 install disc so I can reinstall Windows in case I mess up the partitions installing Linux. Neither of these options seems to allow me to do this. Anyone know of a way to make a straight Windows 7 install disc?

if you have an install code (Usually at the bottom of your laptop), you can use a regular Windows 7 installer disk that has the same version as the one you are currently using. Borrow it from someone or download it somewhere... Just install Windows 7 using that disk and input your own install code when it asks for it.
