[pchelpers] Operating systems

On modern computers and laptops I understand that the operating system is 
hidden in a small partition on the hardrive. I don't like this method and 
prefer to have the operating system on a cd, is there any way that I can get 
into this partition to copy the operating system to a cd?


My reason for doing so is if my hardrive goes down I may lose my operating 
system so I would like to back it up to cd.



Thanks



Sacha

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
