Problem updating Acronis True Image 8

I am a new user to Acronis True Image V8, as well as to backing up.I must backup my hard drive only to CDroms--my entire hard drive is only 40 GB. I purchased the V8 CDRom version of the program[which was build 768]. When the backup process failed, I downloaded and installed build 796. This, too, failed, and I had to download an additonal download, True Image 8.0_cdlog_s_en.zip, a special cd-writing support file.[build 786].
Acronis has advised me to unistall the Acronis program, and download and install the updated version, build 800.Will that cd-writing support file have to be downloaded and reinstalled again as well?
Also, will the backup I made with the program [before the update I will now download] still be valid, or do I have to create another, new backup?
I am thoroughly confused, and would welcome any help you can provide.

I am having a similar problem.For some reason True Image 8 became corrupted and an error box said I should reinstall.I have True Image 8 on CD,which I purchased when I purchased the download.After reinstalling from Cd I have build 763.Can I install only the update, build 800 or must I install all the previous builds.
