New XP Pro User Question re: some differences from W2K ?

[admiral_victory]

I have recently upgraded from W2K Pro to XP Pro and am , therefore
unfamiliar with certain aspects of XP Pro .

In W2K there is a facility to create an "Emergency Repair Disk" and an
" Emergeny Recovery Disk "

Is there a similar requirement and/or facility to create similar disks
in XP Pro and , if so , How does one go about this , please ?

B.N.

There's normally no need for an ERD (Emergency Rescue Disk) with
WinXP. The WinXP installation CD is bootable, and provides access to
the Recovery Console.
