Recue media and recovery disks question

#1 Post by orca3000 » Fri Feb 01, 2008 6:04 pm

I am about to burn a set of recovery disks. Can I just use DVDs? I somehow remember that the first disk must be a CD. Just double checking. :D

Must the rescue media on a CD as well?

It must be a media other than DVD-RAM.
