    When you run the AI Recovery Burner is it burning a copy of the hidden restore partition or is it burning a current image of the hard drive ?

    Thanks

    Forgot to ask if the hard drive was replaced will the recovery disk still work using F9 ?

    Thanks

    Should be of the hidden restore partition, although it never came with my laptop, which is weird. I've tried to use F9 to recover my laptop but it never worked. I finally resorted to just using a retail version of Windows 7 Ultimate instead and activate using OEM SLP keys.

    I tried using the disks on another hard drive and they would not work. Put the hard drive in my toaster and I was not even able to read it. Kept getting an error the drive needed to be formatted. I made another set of disk. Same thing, they just would not work.

    Has anyone made the disk and had them work for recovering the hard drive to the factory state ?

    Does anyone know if Asus sells the restore disk ?

    Thanks
