First of all, after looking at the various sections to post on, I couldn't think of anywhere else to put this. but if it is in the wrong place then i'm sorry. ok, now to my problem, its a bit long winded so you will have to bare with me! I acquired an advent t9107 which has a built in recovery partition but no recovery disc. The partition stuffed up for want of a better term, which meant I couldn't press the designated key on bootup to activate the recovery process, and there wasn't a recovery dvd supplied to do it from. I ran the recovery media creator to make one from as all the files were still on the partition. It made it fine and verified it or so I thought: that was it job done. Wrong! The media creator didn't copy the correct files across to the dvd, but they are on the partition. I rang the support line, and they sent me an official recovery dvd... But geuss what? The same files are missing on that as well! Now I thought of a way round it. I used ultra dvd to make an iso of the dvd they sent me, and updated the iso with the directory thats missing. All well and good i hear you say? wrong again! When I burn it to dvd and try and boot from it, nothing happens. something is happening to the iso when I am updating it with the missing directory that makes it non-bootable. And I don't don't know how to overcome this. I have tried this several times but each time i get the same outcome. I seriously need some help on this please as the idiots on the support line haven't got a clue what to do. All I need to be able to do is update the iso, but still leave it bootable. Any thoughts?
You could try and slipstream the directory. Here are directions for adding SP2 to XP but the same method should work for you. Just subsutitue the need stuff. Good luck!
