Simple (btw, I think I am the first to report the free set). I kept on getting errors when trying to make the recovery set…so I called tech support. They told me it was bad media…so I went out and bought 20 Sony CD-Rs…same isssue, called back and said, it’s Sony media…now whats the excuse…he said sometimes the recovery program messes up and they will send the DVD free…I asked for 2 because I said I was going to make 2 sets…he Fedex’d both sets overnight for free.

I was really going to make 2 sets…and since I couldn’t on my own…well, you get the point. 1 DVD is in the safe deposit in the bank.

If that’s the sort of stuff you put in a safe deposit box, executing your will should be an ... interesting event.

When I called them up it was mainly for getting a free win xp cd (which I could load onto my TR without all the other junk) but while talking with the CSR he said that wouldn’t help much….finally somehow he himself agreed to send me a free set of the recovery dvd’s. I actually got 2…one was the TR2AP and one the TR3AP.


I guess you should just try a few times and may be you’ll be lucky to get some CSR whose ready to give it to you too for free.
