So..you burnt recovery discs (CD-R, DVD+-R...).
And you lost them. (as I did.)
HP's software won't let you create another set. Until now.
After some snooping around, heres what needs to be done.
Download, Install, and Run WinRAR (http://www.rarlabs.com/rar/wrar37b4.exe).
Browse to your D: drive (locked/hidden partition)
DELETE the RCBoot.sys file
DELETE the HPCD.sys file
Next, browse to your C:\WINDOWS\SMINST folder
DELETE the HPCD.sys file
Now, open up the HP Recovery CD/DVD creator. Burn your 2ND set of Recovery discs. (Repeat for 3rd..4th...set)
