creating backup discs
Hi again.
On the verge of putting together a new AMD based system, when I spotted site selling refurbished HP system units. Less than half the price of the bits. Pavilion a640n 3400 based machine.
So far so good. Very quiet too. However, it gave me one go to make some coopies of the system discs, but I did not have any blanks so I skipped it. I have not been asked again and the menu does not seem to include the software mentioned within the program. Can anyone help?

See here
1: Create a set of recovery discs or a recovery DVD
Some HP and Compaq computers have recovery CD creator software that can create a recovery disc set or DVD. To see if your computer has Recovery Creator software, click Start, All Programs, Hewlett-Packard or Compaq, and then HP Pavilion PC Tools or Compaq Presario PC Tools. Open the software and follow the on-screen directions to create the recovery discs. For more information, read the HP support document Creating Recovery CDs Using HP's Recovery CD Creator Software (in English).
You can also order a set of recovery CDs at the same site.

Thanks ORAC, all done.
The clue was ALL programs. Despite being fairly good with the hardware, I'm someone that said windows would never catch on. In making the transition to XP from 98 SE, I set the start to the old format.
So no Tools mentioned.
Thanks again. LR
