Slipstream from a recovery disc?

So I have two laptops that I want to nuke because they came with tons of bloatware and such. Is it possible to create a slipstream Windows 7 disc using the data and serial code on the recovery partition?

Do you really want another copy of all the bloatware

Why not just uninstall the stuff you don't want?

Or have a look at this-> Crappy PC No More! | The PC Decrapifier

No you misunderstand. A slipstream copy of windows is tailored to be whatever you want it to be (including the lack of bloatware). I'm just wondering if it's possible to actually create a working slipstream disc from recovery data (including being able to register the serial code with Microsoft).

I doubt that this would work with the data on the recovery partition. Decrapify them and get them set up the way you want, then use something like Acronis to create your own recovery media.
