Win8 Recovery DVD Not Bootable!

I just created the HP Recovery DVD in windows 8 Single Language.

The creation processes were successful. I used 4 DVD as required. But to my greatest disappointment, the first DVD (which suppose to have the setup.exe or whatever it is called) does not have it. None of the DVD has it.

So, I can't make a fresh installation from the DVDs I created.

Please, how do I get the missing file that will make it bootable?

Thank you for your support.

@deeprana94,
While I appreciate your contribution but you don't seem to get my point.

My system and OS are ok but the Recovery DVDs I made from the Recovery Partition are not bootable (capable to boot from DVD for fresh installation). I checked the first disc, the setup.exe is not there.

I can't create the recovery disc again (as it can only be created once) but the one I created is not BOOTABLE.

May be your Antivirus has removed that exe file during burning process...

Or you can make one more DVD...

Using HP Recovery media to recover ]

You can use HP Recovery media to recover the original system. This method can be used if your
system does not have an HP Recovery partition or if the hard drive is not working properly.
1. If possible, back up all personal files.
2. Insert the first HP Recovery disc you created into the optical drive on your computer or into an
optional external optical drive, and then restart the computer.



● If the HP Recovery media do not work, you can obtain recovery media for your system from the
HP website. For U.S. support, go to Contact HP / Customer Service | HP. For worldwide support, go
to Contact HP Worldwide | HP.

I knew it would be stupid of me if I did but I still did. In this disc, I see FactoryUpdate folder and the third Data file. So, last DVD CAN'T do it.

Alright. I'll try and contact HP and see if I can get reason(s) behind poorly created recovery DVD. Thanks.

When you do a Windows Image backup to DVDs, it has to boot from the last DVD.

Probably the OEM backup does not have to do that since it knows exactly what needs to be on the backup.
