Hi,

I have a fairly new Dell (6 months old) that I bought with XP Home, and
which came with a Windows XP SP2 Installation CD.

People have advised me that it's always a good idea to make a spare copy of
any installation media....just in case.

Can I use the Roxio/Sonic Disc Copy to Disc Copy feature that came with the
PC, to make a fully functional (and bootable) spare copy of my Windows Home
Installation disk, without having to worry about issues like ISO burning?

Thanks.

Alan
