    I made a copy of the original System Disc and Recovery Disc as a backup in case I lost or they got damaged. I recently tried to restore my Acer using the copies and everything went great until the very last step where the installation kicks out the Recovery Disc and asks for the System disc. If I insert the copy, it won't accept it. I have to use the original. I've tried making several copies just to see if I can figure out what's different between the original and the copy and I'm baffled over it. It's not a big deal as long as my original isn't damaged, but I'd like to know why the install won't accept the copy. BTW, the copy of the System disc boots and begins the restore process just fine. Anyone know why this happens? Is there a program that would burn a working copy?
    TIA
