    The 6100 has automatic graphics switching, while the 6000 is manual. They use different drivers, so the recovery image will be different. If you still have your C: drive working, you should backup your C:\SwSetup folder, as it has all the stock drivers. If you ordered the wrong recovery disc, you may still be able to uninstall the bad drivers, and then use the ones from SwSetup.

    thanks! i appreciate the response. hopefully, there isnt too much of a difference that i can still use it. otherwise, i hate dealing with returns through companies like HP.
