    Maybe the drive is failing. Try with another hard drive?

    cheers ...

    And therein lies the problem, I think. In all liklihood, the system restore disk requires something from the original drive, or the Rescue and Recovery process requires that the os be located on a different partition.

    Is the old Drive still around, or did it die?
