I lost my BlackArmor Recovery CD…is there a quick way to create one?

The Seagate BlackArmor Backup software has a utility within it called the Bootable Rescue Media Builder. This utility has the ability to do the following:

• Create a Seagate BlackArmor Recovery CD.
• Create an ISO Image of the Seagate BlackArmor Recovery CD that can then be used to create a Recovery CD at a later time.
