A Making of the Disaster Recovery CD

Rebit 5.0, New install.

First, on the old versions you could use the Rebit supplied disaster recovery cd and it would boot up and check the rebit drive for the restore points and info? Does this still work that way for Rebit 5.0. The new software implies you have to make a "recovery cd".

Tried to. Took about 45 minutes to "download", then at 97 percent said rebit encountered an error. What a junky/slow way of doing this ???? Cant' we just use recovery points off the hard drive?

Please give me some advice. Way to busy to spend another 45 minutes burning another cd and have it not work.

thank you,

Rebit decided to add the "Create Recovery [disk or USB drive]" because it was a frequently requested feature. Many netbooks do not have optical drives.

You did not mention what version you have, but there were some problems with the initially released version and burning CDs. Those have been corrected some time ago. The current release (as of 5/23/2011) is 5.0.1035.10828. You could try to boot from that CD as it is probably good.

To see your recovery points without booting into the recovery CD, select options (the gear at the lower right-hand side of the main panel), and then "Backup locations". You will notice a little clock icon on the right-hand side of each backup location. Press the clock and it will show you your recovery points.
