Can I move damaged recovery disc data to another

[AmitUpadhyay]

My recovery disc which I created long back when I bought my laptop has scratches all over it. I think it is because of this that the recovery process does not proceed in between the 2nd disc. The loading bar just stops and doesn't proceed further. Laptop heats up as if some huge process is going on while the optical drive is spinning fast.

The whole recovery image was of 20GB which was put in 5 different DVDs.

So I want to copy the recovery disc to a different DVD. How do I do this?

First off, if the scratches on a disk are bad enough that it prevents it from working, they are bad enough to prevent it from being read by another PC. So, this is most likely going to be a waste of your time.

Second, what you need in order to do this is a utility that will duplicate disks -- and some free onces include: BurnAwareFree, CDBurnerXP, Imgburn. You would install the utility on a second PC, insert the DVD you want to clone, start the app -- and usually, you have to set a temporary storage location on your hard drive to hold the 4GB+ of files because, unless your other PC has two DVD drives, it has to make an image copy of the DVD to then clone that to a second DVD.
