Create bootable recovery DVD from files

[Neddy]

I'm trying to create a bootable recovery DVD for my father in law's PC.

I tried to make it using its utility and drive but sadly the latter developed a fault and was unable to write to a disk.

As he doesn't want to create disks (and thus, not replace the drive), I copied the recovery files with the intention of creating the disk on my PC using ImgBurn.

And that's where I've come horribly stuck...

 

I've tried following the guides and searched this forum but nothing I try seems to work.

I have all the recovery files (1.8Gb) in a folder and have a boot.img file (47,620Kb) in the i386 folder.

Without going into great detail, my efforts have failed dismally and regrettably the ImgBurn Guide on making a bootable disk is written for better minds than mine.

Could anyone please tell me (in simple steps for a simple mind) how I can build and burn these files into a bootable recovery DVD?

 

Thanks in anticipation...

It's ten days after I posted the above.

Lots of views but depressingly no replies.

Just silence.

If my request is either unspeakably stupid, technically impossible or embarrassingly naive, couldn't someone say so?

Or have I said something to cause offence?
