After a recent hardware failure (could not determin if it was the hard drive or the motherboard? but system was crashing into a memory dump and then re-starting), I purchased a new computer and cloned the C drive onto the new drive. However because of very different hardware, I had to do a 'repair install' of windows. Thats when I discovered that I don't have the original disk? (I do have a legitimate license key). I borrow an install disk of the shop I originally boght the computer from and managed to fix my problem.
As windows xp is no longer available to purchase, I would like to make a PERFECT copy of the disk I borrowed so that in the future if I need to re-install windows, I have a copy.
My question is: can ImgBurn do a completly identical copy of a windows xp pro sp3 disk? (from reading various posts it needs to be a 'raw sector by sector' copy that will include hiden files etc..
Also what medium should it be? CD-r or CD+r?
Thanks
