RE: Burning V5R3 CD image files (was i5 backup options without tape)

Marty,

I was looking into this a little bit.

The UDF format might be a problem.  What OS is on the PC?

Windows 2000 and WinXP supposedly recognize UDF.  But if you're on an older 
version that might be the problem.

One last question, did you unmount the virtual CD image before FTP the .bin 
file?

HTH,
