Creating the Intelligent Disaster Recovery nonbootable CD image only

You can create a non-bootable disaster recovery CD image to complete the disaster recovery media set if the computer being protected has a bootable tape or CD image already created, or if the boot image has just been updated. The nonbootable CD image, named nonbootable_idrcd.iso, includes the necessary drivers, the Disaster Recovery Wizard, and the computer-specific *.dr file.

Note:

You must burn the nonbootable CD image to a CD as a disc image using third-party software. Do not burn the CD image as a file.
