I just got the laptop and went to make recovery disks on
two DVD+R DL disks I had (instead of 4 regular), but they
were 2.4x and it took about 2 hours to burn the disks.
Then the second disk said it had errors at like 78% done.
Now I have a bad copy and it won't let me make another,
it says I already made it once. Is there a way to make
another set of recovery disks? I heard the old HP laptops
you could by deleting some hidden file or something.
Any help would be appreciated.

It may not work like it used to, but a simple search with Google turned this up in seconds flat.

Just tried that, but none of those files are on my hard drive, I searched
all of c and d drive with the free comander. Any other ideas? HP must have changed this on the newer laptops, and now they are not making computers anymore!! -

Renaming RMCStatus.bin would do the trick. -
Thanks, hpenvy, it didn't work at first, but then I found and renamed like two out of three of the Rebeccas and it is burning now
It is buggy though, it told me that Sony dvd-r was not supported, where it clearly is in the manual. Then it popped up the dvd movie player automatically. I closed that, re-inserted the blank dvd-r three times and it finally worked. What a pain, but I am guessing I could just use Nero and copy the restore dvds a lot easier and faster now (unless they have some crazy protection from HP)
