Okay I am kind of desperate here. I took a simple backup of my RedHat EL 5 install DVD and now that backup DVD refuses to boot .. Some googling told me that my backup DVD is probably not bootable . I don't have the original DVD now. Is there a way to make my backup DVD bootable ? I am on win XP now and have no access to Linux tools :(

TIA, Akeshi

If you know your Red Hat Network support account and password, you can get the media from there.

This is a best dvd backup software for you to backup dvd movies whenever and whatever you want.

If you don't need the exact RedHat install, you can use CentOS instead, and replace the contents of /etc/redhat-release file with the official redhat string.

If not, contact RH support and get a new download from them.

There are 2 possibilities here, either:

1) You are a paying Redhat customer in which case you can login to the Redhat website and just download the ISO image(s) again

2) You're not a paying Redhat customer in which case you should head over to centos.org and download the Centos ISO images (Centos is a free, as-close-as-possible, clone of Redhat Enterprise Linux built from the same source packages)
