A boot disk is a removable digital data storage medium by the help of which a computer can load and run (boot) an operating system. The computer must have in-built program which will load and execute a program from a boot disk meeting some specific standards. Boot disk can be used for installing the operating system, data recovery, hardware and software troubleshooting, customizing an operating environment etc.
The following are the steps to create ultimate recovery CD for windows XP:
The first thing that youll need is to download and install the Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD4Win) software, which is just the toolkit for creating your own CD version.
After installing UBCD4Win, youll be prompted on first launch to search for the Windows XP installation files
Youll notice the Plug-in button, which will let you turn features on the boot CD on or off. Since were not worried about that, just click the Build button, and youll have to wait for a while for the CD or ISO image to be created.
At the end of the process you should see an ISO file in the location specified above and it will likely be around 640mb in size.
You can use any number of CD burning packages to create the actual CD, but I prefer to use ImgBurn because its nice and simple.
Now that you have the CD, its time to stick it in the drive and boot from it. Youll be nearly immediately presented with the boot options menu, where you can run a memory test, access the XP recovery console, or just hit the Enter key to start up the ultimate boot CD.
Once it finally boots which can take a while, youll be presented with a desktop that looks and works similarly to XP, although its actually running GeoShell, a minimalist shell replacement application.
There is any number of really useful utilities installed, like previously mentioned Drive Image XML, which can be used to create full backups of your hard drive.
Theres another tool called Self-image which isnt quite as user-friendly looking, but will let you clone a drive with just a few clicks.
And of course there are a number of Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware utilities, very useful for dealing with a spyware infestation that is preventing you from booting.
Finally, theres a number of MBR fixing utilities, which will help if you are having issues booting.
So now your customized ultimate boot CD is created, so in future if you face any problems with your OS, you can do easy windows repair and resolve any of the problems, if you are facing in your computer. Moreover it will also help you, in case your computer is infected by the virus or some other critical threats. Since, it is a customized boot CD, so you can also use it for new computer setup.
