Why are my windows 7 recovery disks failing?

Tora J asked:


I am trying to make recovery disks for the first time on my brand new hp laptop for windows 7. I haven’t done anything else on the laptop, i went right to making the recovery disks. The disk write completes, but on verification of disk one, it fails at about 90-95%. It says an error has occurred, it suggests for me to put in a new disk and start over. I have tried this four or five different times and it always fails. I am very frustrated and any help is appreciated. Thanx in advance.
The computer can read the burnt DVD-R, but still i have to go through windows 7 recovery manager and it wont allow me to go on to disk 2..

Will a clean install of Windows 7 affect my Vista recovery partition?

Ishy asked:


I want to upgrade my Dell Inspiron desktop from Vista to 7. Its getting quite sluggish and its got a lot of stuff I no longer need; so I have backed up what I need and plan to a clean install. However, will this affect my the factory recovery partiton (D:) should I want to install drivers or (heaven forbid) reinstall Vista?

There is no option to make recovery discs, so this is pretty much my only option.

Thanks.
