Vista Recovery Disc

[telboy1938]

In need the help of someone with the knowledge of Vista please...I have just bought a Packard Bell Laptop with Vista Home Premium installed....It keeps requesting me to burn a Recovery Disc but after 4 attemps I still haven't managed it......When the message appears in the Taskbar I click it and install a blank DVD-R disc when instructed...The window tells me it is burning the disc and then ejects it...Then I'm told to re-install it to test it. The window then shows it run through to 100% . Then the disc is again ejected and a message appears stating that the burning was unsuccessful, please insert a blank disc.....I've requested advice from Packade without reply so now I'm relying on one of my clever colleagues out there to help me...Thanks...Telboy

Have you tried it with a cd instead of a dvd?

Try turning off all non essentials that are running, especally antivirus,spyware ect . You might also try a different brand of dvd ,sometimes is the case.
