I have a new system with W2kPro/NTFS. I just received DI 4.0 and want to make a bootable CD to have on hand before I began customizing, repartitioning and loading my software and data.
A brief scan of the W2k instructions created some questions. Can anyone help?
When the manual talks about rescue disks (Pg 5).. I assume they are talking about floppy disks. Do the same limitations apply to bootable CDs too? Are they equivalent?
Will a startup disk created on a W95b laptop work ok in place of the DI bootable floppy (with Caldera DOS)? Do I need to be concerned about this if I create a bootable CD? If I can use the W95b startup disk, I understand that I have to manually copy pqpacket.exe to it.
I guess one of the things I don't know is: does a startup disk have strictly OS stuff on it.. and so is machine independent... or does it also include any machine specific info making a startup disk created on one machine unusable on another machine?
Lastly, how is NTFSini.exe supposed to be implemented? Do I only have to deal with this if restoring to a different partition than the image came from (ie, restoring to D:\ and imaged from c:\)
Does this apply to bootable CDs AND data file image CDs?
Thanks a bunch!
