How much space have you used on your HDD?

I expect it to take about 10 ish disks for an 80 GB hDD

I'd say its bust.
Should generate two recovery disks for any standard XP laptop, regardless of the install state. (All it does is burn a Norton Ghost image)
Find another PC & have a look at whats on there TBH.

Yes, an image of the HDD and all programs and files installed on it, hence it'll be quite large and definetly more then 2 discs.
