The restore DVD came with the computer. I guess they do that now instead of sending a few CDs they send one DVD.
Any way of making restore cds with the DVD?

I see that it brought up IE and did not call on my default browser, Firefox. I use Roxio 7 and have had no problems with updates, my CDR and DVDR combo drive continues to work. I am using a brand name PC, an HP, three years old, XP-Home, the combo writer drive was part of the package. If I remember right, Sonic and DLA were on the PC, I removed DLA and installed Roxio which I owned, have since upgraded to version 7. I have never heard of a DVD reformat/restore disk, is that from the OEM or one that was made by the poster? See http://www.theeldergeek.com/restore_missing_cd_or_dvd_drive.htm for possibly some information that will help.
