How can I make a recovery DVD for my Compaq PC?

Question

There is a feacher that lets you do this, But when I try to use it, It tells me that the disk has already been made, and only 1 copy can be made.

I have lost the disk!!!!!! Is there a way that I can do it in CMD? There is a D drive (partition) that holds system recovery info.

PLease help!!!!!

You only get one chance with the built in software. You can use a program like ImageMagic or Norton Ghost to do the same thing. These are a bit better since they can create a complete image of your current computer drive.

You can contact the Maker and buy a copy of the recovery disks from them.

Try running it under Safe Mode. Not all windows features are loaded, so it may ignore the fact that one has already been made. I don't know what you would type in the CMD line under Safe Mode to make it work though, sorry. Good Luck!
