You must be referring to the restore disk creation function put on your laptop by the laptop mftr. This is not part of Vista. Call the laptop mftr.'s tech support immediately and have them deal with it. You could have a bad DVD-RW drive. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: startup disc Hi Martb, Other than the one you already have, you can try Acronis True Image for a 15 day trial. It'll make a installable boot disk that's a clone of your hard drive. The disc it makes will be good forever, it's just the main program only has 15-days to try. Download HDD ghosting, data backup and restore software for home and home office PCs Hope this helps, Shawn |
