I have a Gateway computer running factory installed Vista Home Premium. I
finally decided to make a set of recovery disks, since I have been stranded
with a crashed system and no recovery disk, as the partitioned drive D used
for recovery had crashed also. The first attempt at doing this, by using
the Create a set of Recovery Disks failed for some reason, causing the new,
high quality DVD+R disk to be ruined and not usable because it said it was
already recorded on. (later I used the same disk to save files on)
So with another attempt at making a set of recovery disks, all seemed to be
going along well, until the job seemed to lock down. With no drive light to
show activity, I opened up Task Master and no activity was showing. It did
show that the job was running, but after a half an hour of waiting, it still
said it was running, but nothing looked to be recording, and I decided to
halt the job. All attempts to Cancel wouldn't work. Everything still
seemed frozen. I then stopped the job in Task Master, but then a window
popped up and said "Congratulations, you have created recovery disks and you
cannot create another set. You are only allowed one set." When I pulled
the disk from the drive, it only shows 1/4 burned. Looking at the content,
there are files for the OS there, but I do not know if everything is there.
How do I reset the program so I can do this again? Any time I call Gateway
for assistance they say that is a Microsoft problem and Microsoft says it's
Gateway's problem. What is the sense of having Warranty when nobody wants
to help us ignoramuses?
