Sooner or later, PC users are faced with a situation where they need to reinstall the operating system. This process is quite lengthy and painstaking, since in addition to the system itself, all previously used programs must be installed. To save valuable time and recover all lost data, creating an image of a bootable disk will help.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you need to create an image of the disc, a copy of which will later be burned to a DVD or CD. Start the program Nero Burning ROM and in the window that appears, begin to set the desired parameters. On the left is a list of disks. Select CD-copy in it and click the "Copy" button. The program will offer you several recorders, among which select Image recorder and click "OK". Give the image a name and click "Save". The program will start creating the image.
Step 2
When the image has been created, insert a blank disc into the drive and start Nero Burning ROM again. Close the "New Project" window that appears. After that, on the menu bar, click the File tab and then Open. You will see a window in which you need to find the ISO-image previously created for burning. Select it and click the "Open" button.
Step 3
Then check the boxes next to "Burn" and "Finalize disc", select the minimum write speed 6x, 4x or 2x. Be sure to check the "Buffer underrun protection" box, and if during the recording process the data flow is interrupted at some point, after its restoration the laser will continue recording from the point where it was interrupted. Now click the "Burn" button.
Step 4
First, the program will format the recordable disc and arrange the files in the desired order. Only then will the disc burn. Wait until the end of the recording and verification, watching the scale at the bottom of the window. At the end of the process, an information window will appear in front of you with a message that the recording has been successfully completed. You just have to press the "OK" button and remove the burned boot disk from the drive.
