Just a quick note on a system that we are working on right now.
It came in just needing to be recovered... the client even had the recovery dvd's that he created awhile back. It has a recovery partition on the harddrive (CTRL+F10) however; it will not work without having the Recovery DVD Disk 1 in the drive. ... well... it keeps getting to around 15% and erroring out! I took the disk out and cleaned it,... and that's where I noticed a large dark ring about 30% down the disc... a defective burn of the Recovery Disk 1... dang it!
Disk 2 looks great, but without disc 1 completing... disk 2 is not accessible. So just a note... before you format a hard drive and try to do a recovery with Recovery Media discs... check the backside of the disc for scratches or defective media.
