Hi Chris.
Thanks for the reply.
Re the creation of a Custom Boot Disc I quote:
From Brian_H response.
You can use the recovery disk as is. You can also manually add drivers if you need any.
But you can't actually create your own custom recovery disc until the product is activated.
I took this to mean that if it's not the full purchased version it's not activated and thus no Custom Boot Disc. My apologies if that was in error but perhaps that comment could be clarified.
However, the rest of my issues remain. There should have been a simple link in the Recovery/Tools option to "Create a Recovery Boot Disk" not Create A Custom Boot Disk. I have uninstalled SSR so can't check on my terminology but the gist should be clear. Then after going to the 'Create A Rescue Boot Disc' a clear link to how to do it should be provided (including appropriate files) there could then be the additional option to Create A Custom Disc,
There is/was an issue with obtaining the Trial Version as I previously mentioned. Most frustrating filling out the required form, clicking submit, only to be sent back to filling out the form repeatedly without any indication that an email had been sent.
Rightly or wrongly, to my way of thinking, System Recovery Software should be error and/or confusion free and very easy to follow right at the beginning of useage otherwise frustration sets in and in my case a decision to discontinue trialling the software. Perhaps a loss for me and definitely a loss for Symantec.
Thanks for your reply, I shall no longer upset your day.
