is it possible to remove norton antivirus from recovery disk created by HP recovery manager?
it's cussing trouble recovering hard drive since it doesnt give access to it's folder to other applications including recovery manager
Sounds more like a bad disk burn, in HP recovery manager when disk were made.

i cant use vlite, it's not a vista installation, it's windows 7 "RECOVERY DISC" made by "HP RECOVERY MANAGER"
Hello loolooyyyy, welcome to Seven Forums!
Have a look through the information in this tutorial at the link below for some additional ideas and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.
it's not about the version, nLite,vLite,7Lite... they can't manipulate recovery discs they only work with installation discs
and i cant do a fresh install, i have an office prebuilt with the laptop and it's on the recovery discs
i need norton off those discs, any ideas?
Recovery disks are notoriously difficult to manipulate so what are your options?
1) make a fresh set and hope the problem is solved.
2) Order a set from HP, they would be presumably free from manufacturing defects and they dont cost the earth.
3) create an image of the current install with macrium or whichever imaging program you like and restore from that whenever required.
4) restore from the factory partition on the hard disk instead of the recovery disks.
whichever is convenient and possible.
If you have not deleted the Recovery Partition
Pressing the f11 key during startup on a computer with an HP factory image will start the system recovery process even if the prompt is not displayed.

As you would know the HP recovery manager like with other PCs does more than factory restore.
Are you saying you cannot do a factory restore/recovery or are you using it in it's data recovery mode?
The factory restore must work or something is wrong with the restore DVDs or your computer. To get rid of Norton after use Norton uninstall tool.
To backup file/folder or image I would be using Windows or well regarded 3rd party software.
