How to create a rescue CD / Emergency Repair Disk on CD

[IntelGuy]

Hi Guys,

I would like to know is there any way to create a Emergency Repair Disk (ERD) onto CD if my Windows 2000 PC supports CD boot up because I don't have a floppy drive (A drive) on my PC for security ?

Please advise and your help is highly appreciated in advance.

Although I haven't attempted it, it does seems plausible.

If you create a bootable CD using the ISO9660 format it merely creates the boot image from a floppy. Whatever is on the floppy is copied to a .bin file on the CD. When booting a CD of this format a floppy drive is emulated with the contents of the .bin file.

As long as nothing you or W2K does needs write access to the A: drive I would think it would work.

You would create the ERD as normal, copy any additional files you think you or W2K may need to the floppy and then create the bootable CD in ISO9660 format.

Try it and let us know.
