You can do this by using the 'burn' program supplied with your machine. Then all you have to do is complete the destructive restore and recover your files off of the DVD.. -- Mike Hall - MVP http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx |

I'm just a user that found it to be a great program for me. I'm sure that there are other programs out there that will be great for you. Run it through Google, and I'm sure you'll find some. When a program works great, word tends to spread about it. Have a great day, Shawn |
