Virtual DVD/CD writer to emulate a physical writer and writable disk?

Question

A friend had bought a HP dv7 Pavilion, which came with a licensed Windows 7 and its own utility software. It had an option to make a recovery disk which, of course, is quite useful. Now the problem was that the recovery disk required somewhere around 16GB and which required 4 DVDs. DVD's aren't that portable, are unreliable and a pain to back-up. So I wanted to a software using which I could emulate a DVD writer and an empty writable DVD so the recovery disk creator would write to. I tried many different programs, (don't remember the names) but none had this particular feature. What software should I be using to emulate this?

Answer 1

If you want to create a virtual disk, (i.e Boot, or plain virtual drive) this program will use a USB device to make it. I hope this is what you were looking for.
