Can I install windows on my MBP from a backup disk?

[rwd hero]

I have a backup disk I made with my HP that restores the computer back to factory. Can I use that disk to install windows through bootcamp on my mid 09 uMBP?

No; restore disks cannot be used to install windows via bootcamp. The restore disks are only for the hardware they are sold with.
