Disappointment with Vista alternative media program?
If the OP ordered Vista 32 or 64 bit on CDs instead of on DVDs then if he
received 6 CDs that would be about the right number. Also it should be noted that when Vista is installed it consumes between 14 and 18 GB which is far more then a standard DVD can hold. The installation DVDs are in a compressed Cab folder format and don't expand to files till during the installation. "Gordon" wrote in message ... "Curious" wrote in message ... The recovery partition for my HP Laptop consumed 6 DVDs, since there is a lot of other software that comes with the computer besides Vista and none of the software is in same "compressed" format that is used in a Vista installation DVD.
