    Hi
    I have two Asus notebook/netbook (U36SD and EB1021).
    The U36SD came with the AI Recovery Burner and I successfully created the
    recovery DVDs.
    On the other hand the EB1021 did not have the AI recovery burner installed
    but I had to boot into the recovery mode (pressing F9) and I had
    the option to create the recovery image to a USB.
    I have an external blue ray burner and I would like to create the recovery
    DVDs.
    Now I have the files to the USB but there is no way to extract the bootsector
    so I can make a bootable DVD or even blue ray
    I also installed the latest AI recovery burner to my EB1021 (nettop) but it failed to create the imaged saying that it can not modify the image.
    My question here is how do I create recovery DVDs for the EB1021?
    I have made the hidden partition visible and I can see the vim image
    but I dont know how to create the DVDs
    Does anyone know how to edit the vim manually so I can create the DVDs
    Another solution is how to extract the bootsector from the USB flash
    or to create a bootable ISO.
    Any idea is appreciated

    Thanks Josea for your suggestion.
    Actually I have taken another backup with Acronis.
    I used Acronis to take backup the MBR of the hard disk plus the two
    partitions (windows and hidden/recovery).
    I was thinking to take backup as Asus suggests as well with their tool.
    That is the reason I asked here the question if there is a Guru in the WinPE
    enviroment with knowledge how this imagex works so we can take backup
    with soft of, manual way but doing exactly what AI Recovery does.
    Also we can customize it so we can take back up in a blue ray
    Thanks
