Windows 7 on my mom's Edge has crapped out again, this time such that the recovery partition didn't work. I think I know why the latter happened: we tried a Windows recovery-without-data-loss from the recovery console, which failed partway through, then tried the factory restore *without* rebooting. That failed with "a file is in use", and after that, it wouldn't go into the recovery console at all. So I called IBM and have a set of recovery discs in-hand.
Alas, she's still 500 miles away. A friend there is happy to feed it the discs; I'd rather not overnight them across the border, since that could take years and cost millions of lives, so my question is: If I send him .ISOs of the CDs and he burns copies, will those burned copies work? Or not, because they won't be bootable? I don't know enough about .ISOs to know whether it includes the boot records. Anyone?
