    I just got my T60p back from the service center. Nice job by the way. Lenovo even replaced the palm rest. Now there is almost no creaks anymore.

    Now I want to create a set of recovery disks. My question is, what should I use? I have Vista Ultimate 32bit.

    I heard some people used 1 CD and then 2 DVD's. And I have heard of people using just 2 DVD's.

    I created a set of recovery disks in when I first bought my T60p, it was only 2 DVD's. Now I am confused, is it 1 CD + 2 DVD's, or just 2 DVD's?

    When I restored my old hard drive using those 2 DVD's I originally created, the computer told me that I did not have the system installation disk, but the recovery process went on, and I had full recovery. Now I have my semi-spanking new T60p back from the service center, I want to create those recovery disks the right way.

    I used 3 DVD's for Windows Home Premium 32-bit. Maybe I could have used 2 DVD's + 1 CD, who knows lol.

    Btw, I have a T400.

    it depends on whether you have supplemental discs. My T60 could only create 2 dvd discs and not 3 dvds.
