Packade Bell Recovery Disc

My PC runs XP while my new laptop runs Vista...Of course, as you know, we no
longer get recovery discs with nes pc's or laptops....I have had 5 attempts
to burn a recovery disc on to dvd but so far have been unsuccessful. It burns
the disc...then ejects it...then asks to re-insert it. Then it checks it
right through to 100%..hangs on for a short while ans ejects it again stating
"unsuccessful...insert a blank recordable disc".....Any ideas please? I've
requested a solution from Packade but have not as yet received a
reply...Thanks.

Hi Telboy

Don't know if a laptop is set the same as my PB desktop, but you MAY have
"back to out of the box" files squirreled away in a secret location on the
HDD.

On Boot, repeatedly hit F12 and a menu comes up with "Recover from HDD" or
similar. Select this option to start recovery.

Of course this does not solve your bad disk problem. {

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely
foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

I gave up after several wasted DVDs I bought a copy from HP. For $15 you can
get the factory discs, which I think should have come with the computer like
they used to, but they didn't and since I believe them to be necessary I
gave HP the money for the recovery discs.

Start by trying a different brand of media and a different drive.
If you can control the burn rate, try a slower speed.

Consider returning the computer if they are unable to quickly resolve
the issue.

Have you checked to see if it's OK to use a DVD? My laptop required me
to burn the recovery disc(s) onto CDs.
