Recovery Disks with Vista Wayne 13.07.2007 00:04:02 We recently bought an HP notebook with Vista. We supposedly can make recovery disks. I started making the disks with CD's. It burned the first one, then all the subsequent CD's had verification errors. Then I read that we really should use DVD+R for recovery disks. One question is, how do I get it to agree to start over using DVD? And is DVD+R the way to go for this? I am open to any suggestions.

Cheap? Does it include a trial Norton or McAffee or any other "goodies"?

Re: Recovery Disks with Vista "Richard G. Harper" <rgharper[ at ]email.com> 13.07.2007 10:23:50 Contact HP for assistance with this. The disc creation utility belongs to them, not to Vista. Consider using a different brand of discs. "Wayne" <Wayne[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:E3D95E0A-6D0F-4A38-AD4B-328F2D0D5652[ at ]microsoft.com...
