CD-RW Media for hard drive image.

[MrGamer7934]

I have 160gbs (2x80 in Raid 0) of hard drive space I want to image using Norton Ghost 2003 and my lite-on 52x24x52. I'm have a couple of questions before I start. First off, which brands of media are the most reliable for this task and second where can I find 24x CDRW disks because I went shopping and the stores in my area don't carry over 12x.

Thanks,
Gamer

umm, you do know even at 2X compression you would need about 126 CDWR's to do that backup.

buy a second HDD, DVD writer or get a tape drive

i went to check. 45 disks required using fast compression. Maybe not a good idea since I am planning on buying a DVD/RW soon. Thanks for the heads up, I didn't realize that.

There are some restrictions on the type and kinds of DVD drives and media that can be used.
DVD drives/media restrictions for Ghost 2003
