    Hi, today i have created rescue medias.

    actually i used 2 DVDs.. (had no CD-R).. so finally R&R created 1 startup cd (on dvd).. and only 1 production product recovery. disc 1... after clicking ok.. it just closed...

    1. os xp
    2. 1st dvd has about 580MB written
    3. 2nd dvd has about 3.59GB written

    so, my question is if it's ok? i have read here that it i would need 2 DVDs (besides 1st startup)

    thank you in advance

    Probably depends on which OS you are backing up - Vista takes more room than XP...
