I have an issue and a question about using the ntbackup Automated
System Recovery Wizard.
The wizard asks you to write data to a recovery disk on Drive A:, but
I have so much software loaded on my system that the size of the data
that would need to be on the recovery disk exceeds the size of any
diskette.
Is there a way to place this system recovery information on a
bootable CD?
I am surprized that Microsoft hasn't created a system recovery CD or
DVD utitlity that would put everything necessary to recover a busted
system on that medium.
Get an external hard drive....you can change the path when prompted. I don't
think you can do this directly to a CD/DVD (unless you're using DLA which I
don't recommend in general anyway). Maybe you can just burn a CD/DVD
afterwards.

You will again be asked to provide a floppy - and you can't change the path
there. These will be small files and will fit just fine...I'd recommend
using it (get a USB-attached floppy if you have none).
