Hi all, got it sorted eventually. Many thanks

The specs given for the drive in the manual and the box are all wrong. It seem like it will only back up to a top quality +R disk.
Looked like quite a large number of buyers got caught out and asking the same questions, on various forums.

Goes to show you that some drives will only accept top quality disks.

It should be no problem for the company to actually provide a recover disk for the lappy, as a 36.50Euro charge ontop of buying the machine is a bit steep. I am sure in the past some ready built PC's came with a full recovery disk.
