| | RE: How to do recovery disc Hi Bill, Firstly, check all your packaging. There may already be a set of recovery disks provided that you have overlooked. If not, then check your computer's manual. It should have instructions on how to create recovery media. If not, scan the 'All Programs' list. There should be an entry 'Create Restore/Recovery Disk(s)' or similar. Follow the instructions provided by the program. Finally, some machines do not offer the ability to create recovery media - instead this data is held on a hidden non-destructible partition that is accessed at startup via a particular key combination (refer to the manual for details on accessing this).

| | RE: How to do recovery disc You don't give enough details about what you are doing! If you are trying to reinstall vista from DVD, set your BIOS to boot from the CD/DVD drive, have the vista DVD in it; reboot, and follow instructions.
