I would like to find out how to make a rescue disk for
winXP. Have looked at backup utility but it will only let
me do it onto floppy drive. i want to back up and create
rescue disk using my CD burner. any help would be great

Thankyou in advance

The Windows XP CD itself is bootable and is a Startup Disk.
It has all the necessary tools to repair XP in the event of an
unlikely failure. However, you can make your own bootable
floppy disk if you so desire:
