Browse All TopicsI have purchased a Sony DRX-510UL DVD burner for the sole intent of burning a backup image of my PC for disaster recovery. The DVD came with Veritas (now StompInc) Simple Backup. In Simple Backup it allows the creation of EBD (Emergency Boot Disks) which specify the backup media being used (the Sony DVD burner). As I am sure you are aware, USB is a connection and not a device that cab be booted from. OK...but I have the boot disk and all I want to do is read the image from the DVD burner so I need DOS USB drivers to support. I call Sony and they say they do not have drivers and that the DVD burner is spec'd to be used only with OS. Why package software and say can do image restore...? Their tech guy agrees but I am left in dust. So now I go to Symantec (Norton System Works 2003) Ghost which offers some USB support. I burn EBD in Ghost with USB drivers but still doesn't work. I want to burn backup images for all my PC's (with different OS - XP, 2000, 98, 98SE, ME) so I need DVD to operate in DOS with some software backup package ( suggestions??) so I can create and restore images.
