I guess the powers-that-be never heard of of optical disk getting scratched or being defective, or hard drives crashing. I did explain the bad media issue, and the mfg was willing to snailmail a set so I guess if one complains one can can get them. I even asked if there was a registry tweak to tell the program to forget the set was made, (so as to recreate them). They also told me the disks they were sending could not be imaged even on a unix-like OS using dd, that didn't seem reasonable either. If the OS isn't sold but licensed, why restrict a legal reinstall due to hardware crash? Aren't they OEM versions supposed to be tied to the hardware? I can image the hard drive with Acronis True Image Home to an external hard drive and use its bootable media to restore that image. Why try to keep a user from imaging the recovery disks? They are hardware dependant anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
