• I have a HP Pavilion with windows vista, can I create recovery system on dvd - r discs? Donkey1

  I have a HP Pavilion with Windows Vista a6214x.  About 3 years ago, I created my recovery with 2 discs dvd - r system

  I never had problems by creating discs and my HP troubleshooting and maintenance guide says that I could use either

  the dvd - r or dvd + r. But the other day, technical support of HP said use the dvd + r to create system recovery discs. If this is the case, I have to start all over again and create Sytem recovery discs on dvd + r?

  Donkey #1

  The DVD creation has always been a unique event. I'd be surprised if it worked.

  HP can tell you how to reset the utility.

• Performance on a Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista problems

  Can someone help me with this.
  My laptop is a new Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista.

  It is slow, not only starting, programs opening, plays something, the browser and even to copy from the CD to the hard drive sometimes give me time 4 days left!

  Clicking on something takes forever. What's wrong?
  Need less to say that with vista no and I mean none, of my devices are busy. Dongle Bluetooth, USB disk, printer, NAS, and and...

  Hey dude,

  Please don t forget that Vista has been installed on your laptop and the additional tools of Toshiba and the utilities that control many additional features!
  There is a huge difference between Vista and early Microsoft operating systems.

  The Vista eat computer resources and many devices old don t work or cannot be installed because the 3rd device manufacturers don t provide Vista drivers!

  In my opinion an upgrade to 2 GB ram would increases the performance of laptop.
  All programs and utilities could be loaded more quickly

  Hello

  A manufacturer of recovery disc is designed for a particular brand and computer model; they are not interchangeable.

  Here is the link to order the Acer recovery disks:

  http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

  And if the Acer never included a drive to purchase, you should have a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista to how it was when new.

  With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process of recovery back to new condition.

  See you soon.
