Emergency Repair Disk

[gfincati]

Anyone know how to create an emergency repair disk with XP? I was running Win2000 and it was simple, now I can't seem to do it, or just don't know how.

Thanks

GF

The feature does not exist in XP.
It was replaced with the extended Recovery Console, and System Restore.

Typing "Repair Recovery" in the Help and Support Program will outline all the inbuilt XP options on this subject.
