I use a notebook with a USB floppy drive. So although I can create the 5
rescue floppies I cannot boot from them as the floppy won't work in
'DOS' mode. Is it possible to create a rescue CD instead of the rescue
floppies? Presumably if I can get the files off the floppies I can copy
them onto a CD but I then need to make it bootable? How do I do that?
I can't find anything in the Help nor on the Panda site.

This may help, an configurable(add your own antivi) xp-cd boot:

I'm just wondering if that is a bit elaborate for what I want. I can
boot into XPHome with the CD anyway. Perhaps I can do what I want with
Nero, as that will allow me to create a boot disk. I'll try that first
and if that doesn't work have a closer look at your suggestion.
Many thanks.
I'm surprised that this facility isn't available in Panda, or that
no-one seems to have found a way round it?
