Disc Image

Hi
I have read a lot about the importance of having a Disc Image on CD/DVD
I don't do a lot of burning so I never looked at Cyberlink Power2Go
That came w/this computer, recently I checked it out
It has the options to burn or save a Disc Image
Any hinds or direction on where to find the "Disc Image" ?
so I can give it a try. or do I need to create one first.
Emachine Refurbished
Vista Home Basic SP1 (512 MB)
Thanks

============================================
Sounds like you want to create an image of your hard drive.
"Acronis True Image Home 2009" would be a good choice
for that task.

You create it, old bean. The image is a compressed version of
everything on your hard drive and it's used to recover from disaster.

I should add: the image that it will burn is PROBABLY just one that
will return your computer to "out-of-the-box" condition and not one
that will bring it back to where it is today.

At the very least, you SHOULD do that before disaster strikes and
leaves you with a totally trashed computer.

To create an image that will return your computer to where it is
TODAY, you will need something like Acronis True Image.

thank you
learn something everyday
