- 3). Click "Burn files to data disc" when the dialog box appears.
- 4). Type "Vista Recovery Disc" in the box that asks you for a name for your disc.
- 5). Click "Next." A second window will appear. This is the "empty disc" folder.
- 6). Open the folder labeled "Desktop" to access the Windows Vista recovery disc ISO in the original window.
- 7). Click on the ISO file, hold the mouse button and drag it over the "empty disc" folder. Release the mouse button to drop the file. The ISO file will automatically be burned to the DVD.
