The system has to be set to boot from USB, and then you may need a U3 flash drive. Haven't looked into it myself.

I don't know if Rick has been successful with doing that but so far I have not. It might be something in the BIOS but I don't know. I've tried flash drives and SD cards without any luck. These systems I have here will boot off of a USB floppy drive but nothing else so far as USB is concerned.

It offers several options from no compression at all, as such creating the image quite quickly to the max which is much slower. I used two single sided DVDs available at your local electronic store. Note the version I used when I created tutorial one can't perform this trick. That was 2.03 if memory serves. They are up to around 2.73 by now. I have been receiving free upgrades for over 4.5 years now.

How did you accomplish this amazing feat? A standard single-layer, single-sided DVD can store approximately 4.7 gb of data, while a single-layer, double-sided DVD can store 9.4 gb of data. So assuming you used two single-layer, double-sided DVD's, you could only store a total of about 19 gb of data. Did you use some hard-to-find double-layer, double-sided DVD's, which can hold about 18.5 gb each? Or did you perhaps use blue ray disks, which have a much higher storage capacity than standard DVD's, but are much more expensive and thus not really practical for frequent image backups? Or is there some magical technique for cramming more data onto a DVD than it can physically store? Just curious.
