Dell data safe does this on a lot of machines. It dosen`t matter if it is a laptop or desktop. It stalls at 73% because it can`t verify the burn. If it can`t verify it, it means it`s not a good copy. I have seen this on several machines. Roxio burn 1.0 has a conflict. with Windows burn program. Tech support is aware of the problem.   Contact tech support and tell them you want the OS disc for free, because the software does not work right. . If Tech support tells you no or wants to charge you for the disc`s, come back here and let us know. I will go through a moderator, just like I had to do with my pc.  Try the bios update. It helps in some cases, but not all.    Thanks, Teddi  
Hi Folks, Trying to help my sister with her new studio 1558 laptop. After turning it on for the first time it asked to make recovery disc and so I provided her with some DVDs. Said it needed 2 and the first disc was recorded, but then during its verifying process it gets to 73% and just stops??? Had to force quit it and tried again and stops in exactly the same place 73% verifying.     Any ideas??   Cheers
