Jo:

I have been looking into the making of recovery discs. It said to either use cd's or dvds. I have a LightSribe DVD+ writer/cd-writer. I assume this is the drive that I put the disc in.

So do I buy cds, or dvds.

And I don't want to buy the wrong kind because on the internet it said "sometimes the wrong kind of cd is used or the wrong kind of dvd is used.

I am thoroughly confused. I understand the process of doing the recovery. You make discs, label them (for example) 1. of 8 recovery discs. you pop them in one at a time, you wait until one is finished being writed to and then it will prompt you to insert another disc. I understand this.

What I don't know yet is exactly what to buy.

do I buy a dvd (they say writing to a dvd is faster than a cd). So what kind of dvd do I buy? Do I go into the computer store and say "I want to make recover discs for my HP Media Center" and the guy will know what to sell me?

jeez. (and that stupid reminder thing is still there).

Alan just takes his mouse and keeps it on the bottom under the task bar (I think it's called the task bar).

God, I feel so stupid.
