I have a Compaq Compaq CQ50-215NR laptop with Vista Home Premium. I am trying to create a System Image on DVD. I have tried seven or eight programs, everything from Drive Image XML to Paragon DBE to Norton Save&Restore 2.0 to Acronis True Image Home 2009; but they all fail when writing to DVD. Sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes after the first disc is completed. I have been able to write/read a data disc and have done a system recovery just in case. No change, however. The system has enough drive space and RAM and I am using the highest level of compression to reduce the number of DVDs. Any suggestions?
