Is PQ Drive Image 2002 compatible with DVD-RW or DVD+RW?

[Ar Q]

The system hangs when I use the rescue disks (1.44" FD) to boot to DOS mode.
There is no problem if my computer uses CD-RW. I know when the software came
out, there is no DVD-RW yet. Can this is be done? (For example, add DVD-RW
driver to autoexec.bat?) If DVD+RW works, I could also buy one to replace my
DVD-RW.

I have to use DI 2002 (Drive Image 6) since they stop supporting the DOS
mode upon the next release Drive Image 7. Thanks.

Drive Image 2002 has something weird that the program (PQDI.EXE) 'sees' a
hooked up DVD-ROM or writer as a fixed disk (when it is AUTOdetected in the
BIOS) and attempts to read the MBR that, of course, does not exist. This
raises a huge DVD incompatibility, so the ultimate answer is that DM 2002
and DVD drives do not go hand in hand with eachother...

Is there any workaround? Or, are there some brands of DVD writers compatible
with DI 2002?

Thanks,
