Recovery Problem with G73SW

I just bought my G73SW-A1 recently and I burned the recovery disks successfully the first time. However, one of the recovery DVDs got damaged so I went back and tried to burn a new set of recovery disks but I wasn't able to do so. Every time I start the AI Recovery process I get this error message:

Does anyone know how to help with this problem?

 

Yes, don't use the built-in recovery disc system.

The best way to use it is to allow it to make the images, move/copy them to another directory, and then quit the program. Then use whatever burner software you like to burn the iso files. It has a habit of not burning 100% accurate burns, which is bad when it's an emergency recovery set.

Or use a 3rd party software or Windows Backup to make partition images. I use Acronis myself.

 

The data on the recovery partition may have become corrupted. I have no idea if this is really how it works, but it may be checking a hash against what is actually there and it's not matching. You may be able to use a 3rd party disk utility (like gparted from an ubuntu livecd) to check the recovery partition for errors. You can't use a normal chkdsk on it because it's a hidden partition with no drive letter.

 

Thanks both of for your great help and sorry for the very late reply.

 

How do you get the ai recovery agent to burn iso'srather than to a disc?

Also if i wiped the laptop and edited the partitions to something more flexible than it currently is would the discs work?

As it comes with a 175gb, 500 gb, 350 and 350 spilt.

Or is there a way i can alter this in windows?

Thanks for your help!
