I have an imaging software that I downloaded (an .exe).
I installed it and it works like a charm. I created a backup image of my C: drive from within windows.
Now: the purpose of this is, when my machine suffers a fatal crash, I can just restore the image to C:
The thing is, if I can’t boot into windows, I’m supposed to use ‘the bootable CD’, which I don’t have.
Is there a way to create a bootable CD in Win XP that contains either the files from the exe or the files that were installed?
Thanks
Usually these things (like Norton Ghost) create a boot floppy with CD access to run a restore. If not, Nero can make a bootable CD, you canb use Win98 to boot and load CD-ROm drivers and switch CD’s, and you can always make a startup floppy disk in Windows, and even moreso, if you don’t wanan use the floppy, you can tak ethat startup floppy and tunr it into a startup Cd once again using Nero.
Is that confusin genoug for ya:confused:
hehehe
Hope it somewhat helped.
the imaging software should definitely provide u with some means of creating whatever type of disc u’ll need to properly use the program.
yep i agree all software provides you with a data restore disc you can use … just depends on software that you have …I have ghost … drive image and acronis true image and they alll have ways to backup in dos …heck even ghost i just made bootable floppy and edit dos commands where I dont have to do anything at all just put in floppy and cd backup and just walk on … …but all programs have it …
what program are you using ?
Thanks for all your feedback. I ended up using an older version of the software, that creates boot floopies during install (DriveImage 5 verus Drive Image 7).
thanks again.
