    Temp subfolder?

    Seems it is trying to make the rescue disc, but jamming somewhere along the line.

    No idea what could be causing that.

    Have a look on your dvd and copy recdisc.exe to replace the one you have installed - see if that helps.

    I searched the dvd but I didn't find a redisc.exe file through search even though explorer is set up to find hidden and os folders.

    is there any particular folder it should be in?

    SOLVED (for me at least)


    After soooo many hours of searching relief finally arrived.

    I am running Win 7 64 bit HP SP1.

    I "MOVED" the "hidden" folder C:\recovery to a flash drive and rebooted. Everything worked after that. The Recovery folder was recreated. I can only assume the original was somehow corrupted.

    Cheers!
