The Pros and Cons of Partition Recovery

A hard disk recovery partition offers the following advantages:

• Convenience - no disks to keep track of, and quick access to the recovery during startup.
• Speed - sometimes reading the recovery data from a hard disk may be faster than from a CD or DVD. However, this may be contradicted by the fact that the data is being both read and written to the same physical disk.
• Affordability - not needing to press, label, and package recovery CDs can lessen the cost of manufacturing on OEM systems.

To say about disadvantages, they may be the following:

• The hard disk recovery partition is of no benefit if the hard disk fails.
• When it comes to flexibility, upgrading a hard disk becomes a challenge. Since there is often no actual setup CDs for the different software programs integrated in the system, a user may be forced to buy imaging software to transfer the installation from the original hard disk to a newer one, since the user has no ability to install everything from scratch. This also means the recovery partition won’t be functional any longer on the new disk.
• Loss of disk space - placing the recovery data on the hard disk means that a certain amount of disk space won’t be available for use.
• Risk of damage - many methods of partitioning are subject to damage.
