    A friend of mine is considering an HP DV6t laptop. He needs to know if he should spend the $19 for the OS disk or not. Can he make his own system restore disk when he gets the laptop? Is there a difference between the disk they provide or the one you mak in the backup (if available)?

    Nevermind, I just got off chat with HP, and they said you can make a recovery DVD which is the same as the one you can buy. Thanks for reply though.

    You aren't allowed to discuss uploading recovery discs or any other proprietary software on this forum.

    You can make recovery dvd`s or you can make a recover flash drive , but you can only do one, and only once and then the feature is disabled.
