Your problem is not with Vista, contact HP support for help with their
proprietary recovery system.

In the future, consider backing up documents to an external USB drive. It
will prove more reliable than backing up documents to CD or DVD's.

Thanks to Oscar's reply I realized mine is completely irrelevant as your not
using the HP recovery, so ignore it.

I would strongly suspect that you're screwed on this one.

By now it's probably evident that CDs are not the way to go should you
do a backup in the future.
