    I just used the Gateway Recovery application that comes preinstalled on the system. Do you still have that?

    Thanks Mark I found it, took me a while, but found it, it wasn't listed under program files for some reason.

    Let me know how your recovery disks turn out. I just curious as to how many DVD's the Application/Driver recovery disks used.

    When I did mine the Recovery Disks used 2 DVD's and the Application/Driver Disks said that it need 2 DVD's - it burned one, asked for the next but didn't seem to burn anything to it so I am wondering if something failed or if it really only used 1 Disk. When I put the 1 Disk in it seems to be working . . .
