I just got my 13in MacBook Pro with Retina Display. I believe it`s the latest version of MacBook. I wanted to install Windows 7 into my MacBook. So my friend gave me an usb drive with iso file and installed it using BootCamp. Windows 7 seems to run pretty well, but when I turn on MacBook and press option key, there's 3 disks displaying - MacBook, Windows, and this thing called "Recovery 10.9". I don't know what this is for and whether this is bug or not. Because when I saw someone`s instructional video, this wash`t displayed. If this is a bug, please tell me how to fix it. Thanks.
 
i quite still dont get what this Recovery 10.9 disk mark is for and what is does. so i tried and clicked that and seems like it can reinstall OSX? if i understand correctly, it does same job like recovery windows CD for PC? Thanks.

You can repair the disk when you can't start it, etc, i don't know what recovery windows cd does but, you can erase your disk from there and reinstall osx from a time machine etc.

Yep and repair and whatnot. don't know about windows functions but yeah, i guess. if you delete it, which i advise not to, make sure you have a backup CLONE of your HD.
 
thanks everyone for the help! Windows running great and will be enjoying my new MacBook now!
