| Guest | Re: Where's the "Create A Recovery Disc"? Windows (no flavor or version) has ever had this option, though some computer manufacturers provide a method of creating recovery discs and name it something similar. The closest thing Windows Vista has is the "Complete PC Backup" which can create a backup set (not a restore disc but a full system backup) that can be restored using the Vista DVD and advanced recovery options. -- Richard G.

| Guest | Re: Where's the "Create A Recovery Disc"? Barry That was an option that was offered during the SP1 Beta to testers. The file that creates the recovery disc is still available at the following website.

I seen that too for after the SP1 is instaled. The file is for this located at: "C:\Windows\System32\recdisc.exe" I do not believe it will work in the Vista 64 bit version, only the 32 bit Vista. As Ronnie posted, you can download the same thing you would create for 32 bit Vista below already made. You would just need to burn it to a blank DVD.
