    Hi,

    I have a HP DV6t laptop 64 bit, that came with VISTA pre-installed.

    Couple of days back, my OS crashed and I am unable to recover using the HP recovery manager. (I had upgraded to sista SP2)

    I ordered the recovery discs from HP giving my model number and they shipped 3 discs. 2 disc for system recovery and 1 - application drivers disc.

    The problem is here is, the discs provided by HP are not bootable.

    All they have is folders like preload, where BASE#.wim files are located.
    Second folder is called SOURCES and it has BOOT.wim file alone.
    Third Folder is named BOOT and it has files called BCD and BOOT.SDI
    Root folder has following files - boo.mgr , MASTER, SERVICE


    Now how do i perform my OS recovery?? or restore my laptop to factory settings?
