Why don't Boot CDs connect computers through my home network?

[Levlg]

I have some Boot CDs which I have prepared for an emergency situation. All
of them allow the user to view my home network, but only one of them -
Acronis True Image Rescue CD - allows the user to navigate through the home
network.

If I try to connect to my network with another CD, I receive message "You
haven't permission for this connection" or something like this. Why does
this happen? What should I do to authorise this connection?

And second question: Why do all of the Boot CDs mix up the letters of my
drives? In which order do they name the drives?

(My home network works through ADSL Router With 4 Ports Switch SKYMASTER.)

Thanks in advance

The boot CD must supply suitable credentials to access your
network shares. If it does not then you will be refused access.
With some boot CDs, e.g. the Bart PE boot CD, you can
manually enter an account and password. With others you cannot.

And second question: Why do all of the Boot CDs mix up the letters of my
drives? In which order do they name the drives?

They don't mix them up - they don't know what they are!
Under Win9x the drive letters followed a certain fixed order.
Under Win2000/XP you can set the letters with diskmgmt.msc
and the information is held in the registry. Since most boot
CDs do not access the registry, they won't know what drive
letters you chose.

Because the TI rescue CD is booting Linux which is smart enough to make the
LAN connection.
