HIH, Gianluca Had time today to check Relax and Recover. I screwed up a 128GB flash drive trying to get Mondo working but was able to a rescue disc and backup to my file system where I was able to copy both to another computer. The backup file can't be on the same partition as the rescue iso. Have another flash drive on the way. Thanks!!
