New page

Recovery CDs can only be created once, after that you get a message that you already created the CDs and that the Microsoft license only allows one copy to be made.

Anyone know how to reset this, so another copy can be created?

		+	The recovery CD will restore the entire hard drive if you boot from the CD. I found having restored Windows from the CD that the recovery program had been reset so it was possible to make the recovery set again. Also software update installs a new version of the recovery program and thus appears to reset the recovery program.
		+	You could of course just duplicate the CD

		+	== Valid reasons to tell ==
		+
		+	I've just hung up the phone with an IBM Service rep.
		+
		+	I've told him I needed my Recovery CDs because my recovery partition got erased while installing Linux. Of course that's not what really happened, but as thing are nowadays, you must LIE to get the free of charge Recovery CDs you are ENTITLED to.
		+
		+	Well, the Linux excuse didn't get me anywhere. They wanted to charge me 45 USD. It wasn't until I mentioned that I already have burned myself the Recovery CDs using IBM Record Now, and that said backup didn't work as it should, that the support rep. changed his speech. He told me he had to check with his manager, and 5 minutes later I got cleared. My Recovery CDs are on its way.
		+
		+	So please take into account my experience, and watch out when you flash the Linux excuse.
		+
		+	I think this info should be updated on the main article.
		+
		+	Anyway, it's so lame to have to make these stupid excuses. They should provide the recovery CD free of charge PERIOD. !!!
