How to verify recovery disks created from recovery partition?

Question

For my Lenovo T 400 with Windows 7, I created three DVDs from its recovery partition. I was wondering

• if it is better to verify that the recovery disks are working and how to? I don't want my current system to be overwritten.
• if I can delete the recovery partition now and release the space.

Thanks!

You can use vmware player to boot from the disks and see if your system is restored to your liking.
