Thank you each and everyone of you for your responses. They are all
valuble, and this is the first time i've been in a position to make backups.
I' speaking to MS shortly that you all deserve a sizable raise due to you
efforts, and some of the "abuse: that has to put through. Retroactivly.
Good luck with your new found winfalls"
I for one am expections a (hunk of coal in my stocking), for what I've
inflicted.
A very good day to *all* of you!

| the time I've spent in this and other NG's I feel I should know the
answer.
|
| I understand *some* of the basis differences between a disk image, and a
| disk clone. Apparantly a clone may be bootable, an ready to run provided
in
| it installed in the proper BIOs channel along with it's coresponding
| settings.
|
| My understanding of any ISO image,it is not bootable and it is also a
| bit-for-bit reproduction,--albeith in only ONE file?? Apparantly raw ISO
| image is *not* bootiful. I don't understand this is that I thought an
image
| is a bit-by-bit exact copoy of the original.
|
| I realize we don't usually use AUTOEXEC.BAT and more, or even ConFig.sys,
| but there still must be bootable files on an ISO image, that left by
| themselves just can boot. I know I'm missing something in the boot or
file
| structure anywhere, and would be so appreciative if one could explain it
to
| me, or know of a good site that, in this case, assumes I know
| nothing.(That's getting closer all the time ;-(
|
| Why for example can't i make a duplicate XP install disk as a back-up,
using
| the native "copy" command, and get it to boot?? AArrrrrgggggghhhhh!
My
| quess this all has to do with different file structures between medium.
|
| Some kind of boot files do not allowed themselves to be copied in this
| matter, and I want to know why.
|
| If I take a simple DOS 6.22 disc, do a copy *.* to a destination drive,
(CD)
| it works flawlessly. Xp sure doesn't/won't do this As i've said, I'm
open
| to all ideas, lectures, or re-directs to other web-sites.
|
| I' asking all this now becuse I've never been with the abiilty to back up,
| and had a CD-rom burner before. It's high time **I**finally started
usuing
| backups. Yes Rock and others...you finally got through to me)!
|
| Thank you for all you time and effort this rather lenght post, (nobody)
has
| every accussed my of not enough detail <VBG>
