Since the EOL on the 490
I have been concerned about the three cd's shipped with the unit going bad
Is there a guide on how to make a working copy of them?
I have never tried to make a boot cd nor do I know what I need to do so.
If it is possible?

Just rip an ISO of the files and store them, probably not on your server though. Or most CD burning software can clone a disk.

Thank you!

Is it really that simple with the hp disc?
I thought they would be copy protected? Especially the recovery/install disc, Since it does not prompt you for a license key.

No, they aren't copy protected, the license information is embedded in the OS image on the disk and in the BIOS of the server.

Okay. That was my original concern.
I did not want to waste several cd's to find out they don't work.
Thank you again.

InfraRecorder is free burning software that can also make iso.
