Does anyone know how to add a backup file or files to a boot cd, such as weaknees or PTV upgrade? I know I have done it in the past, but can't remember how I did it. I'd like to be able to have the backup file on the iso cd so I don't have to swap after booting to linux.

Thanks.

You have to totally extract the ISO (to get the boot.cat), add the file to the file structure, and rebuild the ISO. You might also be able to drag and drop the file into the ISO, with the right program.

Pretty much any utility program that lets you work with ISO files should work. UltraISO lets you open .iso files and allows you to add or delete files from the compilation. I'm sure there are many others that will do pretty much the same thing. Check out download.com and see if they have any freeware/shareware programs in this category.

Thanks a lot, Mr. U and Classicsat. That answers my question.
