Testing a system repair disk.
I have created a Systen Repair disc by the manual method of creating an iso file and burning it to disc. Before I store it away "In a safe place" is there any harm in testing it to make sure it is OK?

Excellent idea that you actually ARE testing it; ditto recovery discs that one sometimes has to make manually - be wise before the event

The recovery disk is a stand alone disc of course. I have downloaded and burnt to disc the applications that came with my PC but other applications that I use, I have the installation discs so can always re-install if the worst came to the worst. I do keep a seperate copy of all the licence and activation numbers that I collect. All my data is backed up on an external hard drive and the main storage is another external so I keep next to nothing in the way of data on the PC's "C" drive.
BTW The recovery disc works fine so I burnt a second to be safe! Ultra cautious me

You're right, it's always good to have a back up.
You could put extra imaging , partitioning , etc apps. on the repair disc - very handy.
