Restore disks have always had a tendancy to be written by complete
idiots.  Some certainly seem to expect that they will only be used by
people that can't follow any instructions or be expected to answer any
questions correctly.

Restore disks are NOT the windows installer either.

Some restore disks do allow you to leave other partitions alone, but
certainly not all of them do.
