I created a set of recovery disks on DVD, and now I want to use them to build an image on a new HD. Unfortunately it's not working. I get as far as inserting the second data disk and it then stops with an error message "cannot find autorun.inf"
When I look at the disks with Explorer, I see that all three data disks have folders "factory recovery" and "recovery".
In addition,
disk 1 has a file "autorun.inf"
disk 2 has no additional files
disk 3 has two additional files "lenovoQdri.exe" and qdrive.ico"

Could someone check if their recovery disks are the same please?
Many thanks.

I had four disks. The boot disk and three data disks. I did try them and they worked. Don't have them in my present location to check your request.

Yes there are four disks. The boot disk works fine and the first data disk. It's the second data disk that gives the problem.
If no-one can help I will have to burn another set.
