I wish to make a backup of my new XP home CD. What is the
best way of doing this? I am not that experienced with
disc copying but I know a few bits.
Would the best way be to create an iso of the disc to hard
drive and then burn the iso? If doing an ISO will it
ensure that it retains the bootability of the software?
Forgot to ask, can I add another folder to the XP disc for
my current downloads so I do not have to download them
again if I need them? Obviously I don't want any addition
to the disc to interfere with the setup process.
either as a disk all-at-once or by burning the folder contents.
ISO isn't necessary, Joliet works just fine. But, the copy
cannot be used to install the system.
Having a backup is a good idea, though, and many people copy the
driver and "toys" stuff to their HD to avoid having to find
their one and only legal CD to install where you get the message
"Windows needs to load XXX, get it from here ...".
