    I recently had to do a full recovery on my 5 month old dv7t when Vista became corrupted after an uninstall of IE8. HP Tech Support had me try to accomplish the restore from the recovery partition, but it was faulty.

    Thank goodness I had burned recovery discs when I first received the laptop or I would have had to wait for them to send them to me.

    Has anyone else encountered this problem with a relatively new pc? I'm wondering if I should have sent it back to HP for further diagnosis, but they did not think necessary since I was able to recover from the discs.

    Any thoughts?
