As an alternative to using the Recovery Media Creator utility on your Advent computer you can also use the NTI CD & DVD Maker writing software installed on your computer. There are several advantages in this, including increased burning speeds and compatibility with a wider range of media.

This can be achieved by following the steps below.

• Ensure that all media is removed from the optical drive(s).
• Open Recovery Media Creator.

To open Recovery Media Creator click Start > All Programs > System Recovery and then select Recovery Media Creator.

• Select the option to create a Recovery DVD. 
  Once again make sure that there is no media in any of the drives.
• The process will begin to prepare the files on your hard disk drive for burning. After approximately 5-10 minutes a message will pop up asking you to insert a DVD.
• At this point open NTI CD & DVD Maker without inserting a DVD.
  NTI can be found by clicking Start > All Programs > NTI CD & DVD Maker and then selecting NTI CD & DVD Maker from the list of programs.

• Once the main program has opened, select Data and then Data DVD from the options in the middle of the screen.
• This will then open a new window.From the top left of screen click File > Create Disc from ISO Disc Image File.

A window called Open will appear. You will then need to navigate using the Look in: box to the folder C:\TEMP where the image file is located.



The image file will be called CD0.  The file will be anywhere between 1-2GB in size.  Select this file and click Open.  Insert a blank DVD into your drive to burn the image.

Once the image has been burnt, exit NTI CD & DVD Maker and then Click Cancel in Recovery Media Creator.
Delete the C:\Temp folder as the ISO file will be taking up 1-2 GB
