    I have an Hp dv6580 laptop

    after installing vista for the first time, i tried to burn recovery dvds for the vista pre-installed in my laptop but it always fail during burning the second dvd.

    I decided not to try again and i depended on the availablity of my recovery partition.

    when my windows crashed, I tried to use the recovery partition during the booting of my computer. It was useless

    I installed windows vista again using a DVD from a friend and I activated the windows with microsoft and installed the drivers after I have downloaded from Hp website.

    Now, I have the recovery partition but as I said before , it is not working

    so how can I get bootable recovery discs using the recovery partition so that I can install the pre-installed version of windows vista that came with HP.

    is it possible to do that?

    somebody might ask why i would do that. because it seems that there are driver conflicts and the windows always restart after giving me a blue screen that i can not read as it appears and disappears quickly and the windows is forced to reboot.




    I appreciate your help

    If you call HP, they'll ship you free discs if you tell them what's happening. It happens relatively frequently.
