unable to burn recovery disc

I'm unable to burn the recovery disc for my asus g73 A2. I am using Maxell DVD-R 1-16X speed 4.7GB if it matters. I am using the desktop short cut AI Recovery Burner.

The first time I tried I had only 5 discs thinking it would be enough since it only asked for 5 at first. Awhile later a message poped up saying their was a error and it couldnt transfer or some text of that sort. I figured since I had been doing something on the laptop while i was burning the recovery disc this might be the cause of the error. Also since i now only had 4 disc left I decided I would do it later.

Well I then bought another 5 pack of disc and trid it again doing nothing while I was Burning the disc. Sure enough the same error message pops up later asking me to insert another disc and try again. Well I did insert another disc and it does end up working! So I made it to disc 2 time now! Then the problem continues... The error message pops up yet again. Thinking if I insert another disc and try it again maybe it will work like how it did for disc 1. Nope i got the same error message again...

I looked around and I couldnt find anyone else having this problem. Surely im not suppose to buy 25 disc in the hope that i can manage to get 6 of them to work for me. I looked around and found something about doing it when the computer is booting and you press f9. Would i have better luck doing it that way likely?

 

bump for help

 

I have the exactly same issue and I would appreciate if someone could help :/

 

same happed to me :0 lol

 

see if setting the priority high in the options or task manager and see if that fixes it. Or try to just do that and dont run anything else in the background.

 

not sure why it would display that message like that. Personally I think you would be better off using an external to create a system image instead. Check all the disks to see if they are formatted before setting it to backup, and then check your device manager to make sure the op drive has no issues. Ten if the problem still persists consider sfc /scannow under admin cmd prompt.

 

What I did is run the Recovery Disc Creator and let it create the 6 iso images, and when the program asked for the 1st dvd disc, I went into the directory where it created them, and copied them to my 2nd HDD. I then quit the program, and burned the iso images using another program, like ImgBurn.

 

About the hard drives. I thought it was suppose to have two 500g. It shows I have 4 not 2 of them. Is it suppoe to show up as 4?

 

I burned the dvd's in my desktop. only 4 dvd's BB G73. IA Recovery created the images on the HD before burning. Copy and paste into a pen drive or try to burn with another program.
Isos are at the following location on my HD. only when the IA Recovery is running.

C:\Users\xxxxxxx\Documents
recovery_tmp (Folder)

cd1.iso 4GB
cd2.iso 4GB
cd3.iso 4GB
cd4.iso 420MB

The drives come 2 partitions. Why? I dunno. It's ghey. You can use Disk Manager to delete the 2nd partition and then add the free space to the 1st one.

 

3 actually: The OS partition, the "leftover space" partition. . and the 20 gig [I think this was where the onboard restore stuff was] partition.

 

Sorry for bumping an old thread but this post helped me when my AI recovery program stopped responding after creating the ISOs
