Hello-
I recently purchased a new ultrabook laptop that does not have a DVD drive/burner.
When I boot up my computer, the software is asking me to make a back-up copy of Windows by either burning a DVD or using a ISO file. I searched on the forum, but I have a few questions about this that I couldn't find the answer to.
My laptop doesn't have a DVD burner nor do I own a external USB DVD burner, so that's out I think.
As far as the ISO file is concerned.....from what I read the ISO file is like a "box" holding all the data needed to create this back-up DVD. Since my laptop does have a USB port and a SD card reader (Asus x31 Zenbook) is it possible to create this ISO file and put it on a memory USB stick or SD card and then transfer this file to a computer that does have a DVD burner and then make this backup DVD? Or do ISO files not work like that?
I'd just go ahead and try it, but I read that some manufacturers only give you limited attempts to make this back-up before you're "cut-off" so I don't want to waste attempts with trial and error.
Thanks for your time.
