todoBackup is recommended in the October 14 Windows Secret column. Sounds perfect — free, makes an image file. It will not recognize my CD drive. It correctly identifies it as LTR-2402M (which is a Samsung CD R/W drive). I have never had problems writing or reading with this drive or driver.
Anyone have a suggestions. todoBackup seems useless unless it can write a recovery disk. This is absolutely necessary to recreate the image.
