Re: Unable to restore from recovery partition

What I am about to say is no immediate help to you.

RESTORE PARTITIONS SUCK!!!!

I get a nice warm cuddly feeling from a Dell "Reinstallation CD", which is
nothing more than a standard everyday Microsoft Windows install CD except for a
file or two that identifies it as a Dell. Anyone and everyone should spend a
few extra bucks to buy the Reinstallation CD, either when placing an on-line
order or after buying a Dell in one of the many mass market outlets.

At least Dell offers the option to buy these things. Try that with HPaq,
Lenovo, Acer-eGateMachines, or any other name brand!

Y'all been warned... Ben Myers

I am unable to restore my computer from the recovery partition. When I
double click Tools\PCrestore I get the message below and nothing
happens.

"Access to \Tools\dp.sc was denied."

Could you please suggest me what I can do to restore this computer
from recovery partition?
