While attempting to make a bootable rescue DVD with my Acronis files (5 - 635mb files), I came to the realization that Nero could not see the Acronis files on my home LAN (using my destop to create bootable DVD for my laptop).

Does anyone know of a DVD burning application, that would allow me to use my own boot files and burn files from another computer on my LAN?

Roxio Ver 7.5 should be able to do this for you.

Hi firefoxthebomb,

Thanks for the reply.

I tried putting Roxio V6.0 on my machine, but it said I had to uninstall v5.x.x first. OK, so I did the uninstall, rebooted, then when I opened Explorer, both of my DVD drives were missing. Device manager couldn't update the drivers either (code 31). I ended up doing a restore with Acronis and all was well again. Tried another uninstall and same scenario, had to restore the image again.

Is there somethingabout Roxio that I should know???

Resolved the problem with Nero. After selecting to make a boot DVD and selecting the boot file, I would click on the "New" button and a dual pane file manager would open. If I close the right file manager pane, I can then right click the left and add files from my home LAN. If I leave the right file manager pane open, my home LAN is not displayed. I know this sounds strange, but it is now functional.

Thanks again for the help and ideas............
