Because I could.

You can do a lot, however it's much more logic to continue in the
first thread.
And the way you react will not stimulate people to help you...

And the way YOU react does not stimulate me to listen to you. That was
your logic. I used mine.

No one has to listen to me, it's a free world. And I know very well that
you will not...
I only wanted to tell you that yout logic is far from logic.
And I think that there are certain rules when you use newsgroups.
Of course, thats not YOUR problem, isn't it?

On my Acer laptop, a day after I got it, I was prompted
to burn five DVDs, and those contain a factory copy of
the OS for emergencies. One of the discs is a driver disc.
If the laptop drive ever dies, that's how I put the
OS back onto it. After the DVDs are burnt, I rip
them to ISO9660 format, and store the ISOs somewhere
for safe keeping. As the DVDs might be unreadable
when I need them.

Hi Paul. I've recently been through his with an HP Envy dv6 laptop and
burned seven DVDs. I haven't ripped ISOs of them though and would like to do
so on my Windows 7 desktop. What free software do you recommend to do this
as quickly and painlessly as possible?

Cheers,

Windows 7 native Windows Media Player will burn ISOs
or use the Alexander Feinman ISO RECORDER to create
ISOs - http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

7-zip for extracting ISOs or most other compressed file types.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/

Flash drives are a far faster and superior approach to installing
an OS than DVDs. Just be sure to properly prep the drive first.

I've used Imgburn in the past, but I can't remember if it's now bundled with
crapware or not.

I actually got Windows reloaded on this stupid HP p6 and it booted, but
I'm
convinced the hard drive is failing fast. If I were to make an image of
the
boot partition, could I legally restore it onto another drive? This
family
can't afford and new drive and a copy of Windows.

You can always install a superior free OS... ;-)

I did recommend a superior free OS. The problem is their daughter, who has
multiple learning disabilities, is being home-schooled this year. Learning
to navigate a new OS is beyond her right now.

Version 2.5.0.0 is the last clean one. You can tell
by the size of the download.

I got mine at oldversion I think.
