Basics
Create and use Rescue Disks
72
If you start the Rescue Disk Wizard from the main
window, temporarily disable Auto-Protect while you are
creating the Rescue Disk set. If you do not restart your
computer after creating Rescue Disks, remember to
enable Auto-Protect again.
When you select a floppy disk drive, the Rescue Disk
program calculates the number of disks that you will
need to complete the set. Depending on what items you
want to include in the Rescue Disk set, you might need
ten or more floppy disks.
w If you choose to create Rescue Disks on a network drive,
a second physical hard disk, or some other large capacity
disk drive (but not a CD), your Rescue Disk set is placed
in a folder on the selected disk. Make sure that you also
have a bootable floppy disk in a safe location. This disk
should contain the network drivers or other files
necessary to start your computer and access the drive on
which you placed your Rescue Disk set. Creating a
Rescue Disk set on a startup hard disk, for example,
drive C, is not recommended because you will not be able
to access the rescue programs and configuration files if
your hard disk is damaged and unable to start.
To create Rescue Disks

2 In the Rescue Disk window, select the drive on which
