    Hi everyone,

    I just got a T61P with Vista Business x64. I'm trying to create a recovery disc before I do a clean install based on one of the guides here.

    However when I launch "Create a Recovery Media" When I click on "Create a set of Product Recovery discs now" I get the error message:


    PHP:
    Resources required by this application are already in use.  Please retry after the other application completes

    I think I caused this by first trying to create a Rescue media but it took too long doing an extraction without showing the progress, so I had restarted the machine.

    Now I can't seem to create a recovery disc. How can I solve this issue?

    Did you try disabling DLA?

    How do I disable the DLA under Vista? I didn't see a DLA tab under the DVD drive properties.

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    DLA is a known troublemaker. I personally would dump it if you are not using it. I thought you can disable it by right clicking on the drive properties. One of the tabs on there I think, I can't remember which, has an option to disable it. I can tell you for sure since I don't use the ThinkPad software for burning.
