recovery discs? Ok, my first motherboard died on me. Shortage of the power supply. Got another motheboard online and made sure it had the same number (449903-01) and put it in.. I recovered with my recovery partition and since then, I can't use my DVD/CD drive. It opens and closes like normal. When I put a cd/dvd in, i get diagonal lines on my screen. When I try to make the recovery cd's, it says that the discs couldn't be written to. when I went to hp.com, i found something that shocked me. I clicked on the "guess my product" or whatever, installed what was needed, and found out the model number, s/n, and p/n were all different. is this preventing me from making my recovery discs? maybe hp found out that its the wrong mobo and said no, you can't make recovery cds. Help?!?!?!?!?!!??
