    I have an HP dv6000 running Vista Premium. After 7 months, I finally decided to make my Recovery Disk set. I followed the prompts and it made one Disk which took less than a minute to burn. I can see on the disk that only a very small portion burned. Is something wrong??? I expected to use many disks. I tried again and it said I am only allowed one set. Thanks to any one who answers.

    Similar thing happened to me. Actually, it didn't want create even 1 CD.
    Since you're allowed only one try, I called HP/Compaq, and they sent me set of Recovery disks (3), free of charge.

    Is this a computer with Vista on it? If the burn failed, it will probably let you try again. However, I'd suggest using a different media. Perhaps DVDs instead of CDs?

    My honest suggestion would be to use the Sony DVD+R to create your backups - the are a good quality media.

    Thanks for the replies

    I was burning a good quality DVD. There was no error during the burn: it completed successfully. I tried again to create the disks and it said I could not: only 1 set allowed. I talked HP into sending me Recovery disks.
