HP Recovery Disc Set creation

Last month I bought an HP laptop at OfficeDepot which , after successfully removing a bunch of preinstalled junkware, has been working fine. With that clean-up behind me, I decided to burn a set of recovery discs. To my surprise, the operation was refused with the error message that such disc set had already been created and only one set was allowed. The funny thing is that this was the first time I tried to create the recovery set.

I then promptly mailed a complaint to HP's tech support which to my surprise replied within only a couple hours, suggesting to update the Restore Manager from their web site and then I should try to create the disc set again. Well, I did just that but I still could not create the disc set for the same reason. When told, HP Tech Support promised to ship me the recovery disc set ASAP. Assuming I actually will get it, I will end up again with a set that includes all the preinstalled junkware that I would have to get rid off again if I ever need to restore my system from those discs. So I hope I won't.

Has any of you been through the same thing, not being able to create the recovery disc set?
