| 514685 | 2007-01-10 07:40:00 | Is there a way to create a startup XP CD in case of 'Emergency'? I mean when XP fails to boot and there are important files to be saved. Just like the good old DOS boot disk whereby I could boot up the machine and copy all those important files before reinstalling (or reformatting) the new OS. I know I can use Win98 to boot up the machine but it cannot read NTFS file format. Can this be done at all? |

You can boot to the recovery console in Windows either from the CD or by installing it as an option into the NTLDR (boot loader). But this is using the CLI - by using Knoppix you have a nice user friendly GUI to recover your files with. |
