    Dvd Copy of Vista

    I am trying to burn my Vista for a back-up. The copy is fine but it is not
    bootable. How can I make a bootable copy?
    Thanks

    JayB,
    You need to make a "carbon copy" of the disc.
    The simle fact of copying the files (the contents of the disc) doesn't make
    it bootable.
    Use any burning program you may have like Nero, DVDFab, CloneDVD, etc.
    In Nero you have to choose "DVD copy".
