I need to copy a DVD (legal!). I am looking for software
for this. Help says I use the Roxio CD creator. I can't

Hello,

Your installation or Recovery disk will no doubt have it....exactly how you
would restore it to your system would be a guess. I have seen some recovery
disks that give you that kind of option. My oldest sons recovery disks give
no options...its a restore all or nothing situation. On the assumption you
bought it as a package I would suggest you get in touch with your supplier.

An XP Recovery/installation disk includes Roxio?? A separate CD for Roxio
may have been included with a new PC!!

Will,
Some recovery discs do actually come with all the software supplied in a
bunch of several discs, lablled recovery disc 1... 2... 3 etc.
The only way I have found to use these is a complete recovery of all the
info, so it would be reformat and then total re-install. What is on the
discs would depend on what was exactly shipped with the pc when new.

Hi Graham

Yes, on separate CDs, but not on the XP CD as JK, logically, was referring
to Joel's posting. With an OEM disk the only way is a 'clean' install, but
also with a lot of 'Recovery' disks the only way is a 'clean' install as
well.

Hope you had a good time on Wednesday!!??

Will,
Of all the times I've had to use recovery discs it's always been a total
clean install. I agree the XP disc will only contain XP, and if this was
supplied then roxio would have been supplied on a seperate disc.

Had a great time on Wednesday thanks, made us most welcome and met a lot of
very nice people!!!!

Graham

truth of my remarks I will send you my two instalation and recovery
disks...amongst other program these two XP set-up dosks contain NERO

John,

I think the confusion lies in the difference between an XP disc and computer
recovery discs.

As we all know,

XP comes on one disc, supplied by MS.
Computer recovery discs are not supplied by MS but by the pc manufacturer
and contain Xp and a mixture of programmes drivers etc, specific to that
pc..

In which case the OP needs to either dig out recovery discs or his copy of
Roxio, which if it came already installed on his pc, he should have.

Graham
