Copying Restore discs using Linux.

This may be of help to anyone who has access to a Linux system.  I thought I had posted this but I cannot find it, if I'm being redundant please accept my apologies.

 

Insert the DVD in drive and unmount it !

 

#dd if=/dev/hda of=/tfs/xxxxxxxxxxx.iso

Do this for all 3 discs, backup the iso files with your regular backups and create a copied set. These will only work for YOUR laptop, but it's nice to know that if something happens to your original set, you can crete a new one.

 

I have used my copies on 2 occasions and they work fine.

 

Take care, Bob
