So let me get this straight if I may? This imaging software is supposed to
take a backup image of your computer and you store it on a cd? What happens
if the copy says it is corrupted? Where do you go from there? You start from
scratch and I would think that screen reader keys have to be installed off
of the cd of your screen reader or off of the internet again anyway?
