TI2018 Rescue Media Builder... CD beware
Today I attempted to create a CD using the Rescue Media Builder. TI went through all the motions, said it was burning the CD and finished with no errors. Since I was interested in cloning my system drive, I tried to boot up the CD... and no joy. I pulled the CD and it looked like nothing had burned.
I created another one and tried again. Again, no errors, but again disk would not boot. I did recall, however, that TI indicated it had 767MB of files to write to the CD. Isn't that too big for a CD?? If so, then why no warning or error? I checked, there is nothing wrong with my burner.
I created a thumb drive and that worked fine. The cloning, however, is a different forum topic message...sigh...
I hope others don't have coasters in place of actual rescue media...

I tried to create a standard rescue CD (using CR-RW) and got an error message indicating that the CD did not have the necessary capacity - need at lest 658 MB.

In risposta a I tried to create a standard… di truwrikodrorow…

I guess that is good news!? Now I just need to figure out my issue... ;)
I am using an HP dvd1270 RW, which is a rather old item (still does lightscribe)... maybe not returning an error that is understood?? Or no error at all!

All I can suggest is burning a DVD instead - assuming your ancient system supports DVDs! I agree that absence of a warning message is peculiar.
