.ISO for Disaster Recovery too big for CDR media ??!!

[swld]

Hi there ...

 

We've been testing the express version of Retrospect

at my company and are running into a perplexing problem.

 

When we make the Disaster Recovery disk/.ISO, the

resulting .ISO file is approx. 950 megabytes; we have

a standard CD-R drive to burn the bootable disk set and,

of course, this is too big to fit on the media.

 

We are clueless as to why the program does this, unless

it's assuming we have a DVD write drive and would like to

know if there is a way to tell theapp to keep the .ISO file

down to a size that will work with regular CD-R media so

we can use the boot set.

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

Hi

 

You must use the i386 folder from a windows install CD to create the image. If you use the one from your hard disk the DR disk will be to big.
