Start Up Disc

[Bob G.]

With win 98 you had to create a start of disc in case
your system crashed. What is the replacement for this
function with Win XP?
Thank You.

Greetings --

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