    Not sure what you mean by "run the DVD to start the system image recovery process".

    BTW... there is a "WindowsImageBackupFolder" on the DVD.

    When I get to step 6 in the STEP TWO section on my PC, there are no data in the table, and I cannot enter any. I would think that the PC would recognize that there is a DVD in D:. It appears that the PC is not.

    Regarding "WindowsImageBackup folder from where and how it was originally saved at", when I created the Windows image backup, all I did was specify that I wanted the image saved to DVD discs. I really appreciate this help. I really need to do this.
    Could you post a screenshot showing what you see at this point?

    Are you able to select (dot) the Select a system image option?

    I don't remember where I would have been in order to Snip the screen as it has been 18 months since I purchased and set up this pc. Yes, I can select (dot) the Select a system image option.

    How are you getting into the WinRE to load the system image, booting to DVD or F8?

    The Windows Backup gives a message while doing a DVD image recovery to put the last DVD in the drive.

    What is "WinRE"? Sorry, I'm not good with computer abbreviations.

    I've tried two approaches: (1) via Control Panel; and (2) I respond when prompted to "hit any key" during boot up. Both approaches eventually take me to "Select a system image". I select this option, but it appears that the PC is not looking at the DVD drive.

    Are you saying that I should put the last system image backup DVD in the DVD drive first?

    Thanks for helping...

    Windows Recovery Environment.

    I am not saying it, Windows is ! But yes, the last DVD should be used first. The reason probably is because all the info on the image, like number of DVDs, is written to the last one. It may ask for the first one after it reads the last one.
