Wolfgang sorry mate but that Windows program you mentioned is it WIC? if so I cannot get it to download and install.

PS is ti also the enu.exe one?

Remind me - what program are we talking about. And what is WIC ??

Sorry Wolfgang perhaps it is just me but I could quite catch what you said about that WAIK it sounded like wick. I Googled WIC and got this Download Windows Imaging Component from Official Microsoft Download Centre That would not install so hence why I asked the question again I am really sorry if what I have said causes any offence I just could make out the word

The rest of the tutorial I have no problems with in fact it all falls into place. It was the recovery disk part that had me flummoxed.

No problem. If I said 'WIC' it must have been a typo. The problem with the WAIK is that it takes at least 2 hour to download (1.7GBs). That's why I posted the ready made .iso on my Skydrive so that people could shorten the process.

John you only need WAIK id you are going to create a rescue disk (WinPE) yourself. If you download the iso as Wolfgang suggests you do not need it. https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=475a0...A6D4035%211812
Colin has a tutorial on making a boot able flash.
MACRIUM REFLECT - Create Bootable Rescue USB Drive

Yep I have got it now Wolfgang and Gary it is just that I did not hear correctly when I listened to the video

Wolfgang I have selected the rescue for the Windows ISO and gone through the instructions and insert a disk (DVD) and it goes for two seconds and then ejects it with this message. If I am doing something wrong can you please advise. I have tried 6 different empty disks soi don't think it is the media.

PS Meant to mention the image went fine:)

Are you using the correct opto drive John? What are the settings under the error message?

Yep Gary I only have the one opto drive (Blu ray) installed??

Is the disc blank/formatted? Try the USB option too.

All I can think of is one of the drive's cables is loose, maybe?

To answer both replies the disks are blanks I use for recording ISO's and TV docos and no the thing is working as I regularly use it to record / burn music CD's

If you are using the preprepared ISO supplied by Wolfgang you just need to burn it to DVD with something like Imgburn.The Official ImgBurn Website
