Computer Q&A Board / WinRescue / winrescue xp bootdisk and cdrw

I am using winrescue xp on a laptop with no floppy drive and am having problems making a boot disk using a cd/rw. The winrescue gives me a prompt "diskette completed" even with no blank media in the cd/rw but the screen shows the process at 96% and the program hangs. The program brings up a write to cd screen option where it wants me to indicate which files I want to copy...unfortunately, I have no clue. Thanks for any suggestions. kalvin

You cannot make a boot CD with WinRescue XP. It only makes boot diskettes (a diskette is a floppy disk). The reason why WinRescue XP cannot make a boot CD is because it would need the diskette to make the CD (that is how boot CDs are made).
We do have XP Recovery CD Maker (go to
http://www.xp-recovery-cd.com for more information) which will make a boot CD which will restore WinRescue backups. XP Recovery CD Maker cannot make boot CDs in all WinXP installations so please use the trial version to make sure it will work on yours before buying.
