total system backup



It seems that backing up the entire system with the XP backup utility
requires a floppy drive. Well, my laptop, like many, doesn't have a
floppy drive. Is there a way of backing up the entire system and boot
from a CD to initiate the complete recovery (assuming the BIOS is set
to boot that way)?

TIA,
David
