Vista - Can't create recovery discs

01-16-2008

Hi, awhile back I tried to create a set of recovery discs for Vista, but the
second disc wouldn't finish, so I ended up restarting my computer after a few
hours. I threw away the discs as I figured they were corrupt, seeing as how
the second disc was not completed. Now I'm trying to create the discs, and
it would only let me create the second disc, so all I have is the second disc
and not the first. When I try to create the discs again, I get the error "A
set of recovery discs has been created for this PC. Only one set is allowed
per PC." Is there any way to create another set?

This is a function provided by your PC mfg, you need to contact them for
support.

Well, you should probably contact the manufacturer of your PC about
obtaining physical Operating system media for it.

Contact your PC manufacturer they should be able to help on this one. It is
they that put the restrictions on how many recovery disks can be created.
