    Hello,

    I made disc copies of my Dell Vista Home Reinstallation DVD. I found out the copies won't boot when I tried a Vista repair. I was using Nero 7 to make the copies. I was hoping to have a copy of the DVD in my bag for emergencies.

    I have also tried to "Create A Recovery Disc" but the option is not available in the MAINTENANCE menu.

    What gives?

    Try making an ISO using vLite, burn it, it should work.
