Hi,
i am unable to create a backup using the acer eRecovery Management.
(see thread http://community.acer.com/t5/Notebooks-Netbooks/HL-DT-ST-DVDRAM-GT32N-SATA-CdRom-Device-Optical-driv... )
I have been unable to resolve the above, and have given up, opting for a work around.
I need a little feedback/help with a work around.
I am trying to use a work around solution to create a system backup, and need something clarified.
If i create a bootable iso image on cd's, using burnaware, is this going to work as a system recovery method ?
i understand that i won't get a factory restore but a copy of my harddrive ( i am fine with a copy), but will i be able to restore my system should it crash by using a bootable iso image burnt with burnaware.
I am not a computer genious, so any tips/and or pitfalls links would be appreciated.
Here is the basics of my pc/system from belarc. Obviously my windows7 is an oem as it came preinstalled.
