Surely a backup is m ore important than an install disc? If an install disc errors, you can write another from the ISO. If a backup disc fails, you're stuffed. > That has been my key to success in the critical CDRW area. If it's critical, use CD-R, not CDRW. I find RW discs to be more trouble than they're worth. They take ages to write, and always get an error when it is least convenient. CD-Rs cost pennies. You don't need really exopensive ones (they are usually the same discs in a branded case anyway) just something decent like Ritek. -- Neil Bothwick -- [email protected] mailing list
