More Windows Vista Packaging and Disc

Take a look at how the Windows Vista packaging will open up to reveal the media inside. Also, it is our first peak at what the Windows Vista discs will actually look like.

I like what they've done with the disc. The design on the disc is unique and fresh. Microsoft has adopted pretty much the same looking holographic CD/DVD's since Windows 2000 and its nice to see it be given a fresh new look - which seems to be a reoccurring theme with the Windows Vista packaging in general.

Windows Vista Recovery Disc Download

If you're like most PC users, you got Windows Vista with a new PC or laptop. And if you're like 99% of the population, you get your new machine from one of the major manufacturers. Dell, Acer, HP, Toshiba, Lenovo, all have one thing in common: they don't give you a real Windows Vista installation disc with your purchase. Instead, they bundle what they call a "recovery disc" (that's if you're lucky - otherwise you'll have a recovery partition instead).



It doesn't matter that you just paid a thousand dollars for a machine that comes with a valid Windows Vista license - they just don't want to spend the money (or perhaps take on the responsibility) of giving you a Windows Vista installation DVD to accompany your expensive purchase.

Recover "Create a recovery disc" on Vista SP1 RTM

Long Zheng: During the betas, one of the few new functionality Windows Vista Service Pack 1 added was the ability to create a Windows recovery CD with an easy-to-use GUI interface. Up and until then, it was slightly harder but still possible to do so through a command line.



Whilst all Vista install DVDs include the recovery functionality natively, it’s probably useful to burn yourself a spare copy to take with you. You can also download an ISO from NeoSmart.net but you might not have bandwidth to spare...

Vista SP1: Create a recovery disc

Long Zheng: One of the new administrative tools Windows Vista Service Pack 1 provides is the ability to create a recovery disc. At first, the name might fool you into thinking the type of discs system manufacturers provide to you when you purchase a new computer to restore your computer to a factory state, but this is not that. A more appropriate name would be śWindows repair discť.



To be blunt, this tool creates merely a slimmed-down Windows installation disc. It takes a normal Windows installation disc image and strips out all the śinstallationť functionality leaving only the repair tools and common system files.



What a lot of people dont know (or need to know) is that their Windows Vista DVDs are in fact running Windows PE, an extremely lightweight version of Windows that can be booted from removable media for the purpose of system maintenance. Up until now, creating a Windows PE image was not an easy task. This tool basically simplifies it down to just two clicks.

NHK Pushes Optical Disc Speed Limit up to 15,000 RPM

Engineers at the Science and Technical Research Laboratories (STRL) of Japan's public broadcaster, NHK (Nippon Hoso Kyokai), are working on an optical disc recording system based on consumer Blu-ray Disc technology that can spin as fast as 15,000 rpm without these problems and demonstrated it last week.

It's needed because broadcast quality HDTV signals of the type NHK records stream at 250M bps (bits per second) making a fast-spinning optical disc a necessity. A 1X Blu-ray Disc records at 36M bps so the new system is equivalent to 7X speed.

NHK has gotten around the stress problem by making a flexible disc that is just 0.1 millimeters thick. The disc, which was co-developed with Ricoh Corp., is essentially the recording layer from a Blu-ray Disc without the 1.1 millimeter plastic substrate that is used to give the disc rigidity. It won't break apart at higher speeds but is not rigid enough to be useful in a drive at any speed...

Burn your Windows Vista DVD ISO's slowly

Microsoft has warned public beta testers to burn downloaded Vista ISOs to disc at speeds as slow as 1X or 2X in order to get a reliable burn.

It says a key reason behind installation failure of Vista is that many DVD burners cannot reliably burn a disc at high speed.

The interesting tidbit was included in the release notes for the interim update to Vista Beta 2 (build 5456.5; not publicly available) and sheds light on the magnitude of the problem of unreliable DVD burns.

PGR4 won't fit on a DVD, content axed

Sony is a company which has seen a lot of abuse lately for the expensive nature of its flagship console, a large factor of which is the Blu-ray disc drive incorporated into the PlayStation 3. People have been poking fun at the console-giant for a while because of the format choice.


Still, Sony is convinced that it will have the last laugh after all - especially as it turns out that Microsoft Games Studios has been forced to remove day and night cycles from the upcoming Project Gotham Racing 4 because of space constraints on the DVD disc.


Apparently, planned elements of the gorgeous looking PGR4 have had to be removed because they will not physically fit onto a single DVD disc and console games do not have an option to continue onto a second disc as easily...
