Re: How can I create\burn an Windows XP Emergency Boot CD?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I am surprised to see the tools listed there that are with UBCD. But too bad
that i dont have a fast connection to download that 133mb file.

And if the OP doesn't have a fast Connection like me, he can download EBCD
[ Emergenct Boot CD] .

: The closest thing that you will get to a boot CD for XP is to use Ultimate
: Boot CD for Windows. It creates a Windows XP live boot CD that you can use
: to gain access to your system in the event that you major problems with it
: and can not boot into it. It contains lots of freeware plugins that allow
: you to perform a variety of tasks.

: Ultimate Boot CD for Windows: http://www.ubcd4win.com/
:
: All you have to do is download it, read their instructions in the "How to
: Build" section, build your CD and burn it to a blank CD or DVD. All you
will
: need for this is the ubcd4win software and your Windows XP installation
: disk.
:
: To specifically answer your questions:
: 1. This software will automatically include all necessary files to be able
: to boot the disk.
: 2. It contains a lot of freeware plugins that are suited to perform
: emergency maintenence - look under the "List of Tools" section.
: 3. You can make a CD image file with this software that contains all
: necessary files to burn to a CD with a burning program like Nero or
: DeepBurner, you just have to choose the option to burn the disk from an
ISO
: file.
: 4. This program will automatically make the disk bootable. All you have to
: do is build the CD, and then burn it to a disk.
