The way I did the recordings is the same method I have been using for over 2 and a half years so far. Forty of the sweetest dollars I ever spent.

Hi David, Thanks for the information. I guess that I should uninstall image for windows and reinstall it using the custom choice to only install image for windows without the other two image in the bundle. I wish you luck in trying to use a second computer to restore. I certainly would be interested in your tutorial if you can get it to work. Perhaps Doctor Phil can wrap your head around it?
