Where did you get the Windows rescue CDs from?

I created them on my W7 systems using Backup&Restore - create rescue disk, but I think that it only creates a CD /DVD(I have a virtual CD Manager which allows creating an iso on disk)

So, in theory, I could get ISO's of all the rescue discs from XP onwards (if they existed for XCP, can't remember) and chuck them all on the USB drive (providing there's room).

Have you got a link to the resuce discs please?

Hi gang

I've got my boot-USB working (I think), but I can't get Hirens to go onto it using XBoot.
I've got the ISO image and a few other files (it all came down in a zip file) but I can't find the HBCD folder previously mentioned on here.
Is the HBCD folder actually on the ISO image (I haven't quite got to looking at the image yet)?

::edit::

I've put the Avira resce CD on there, can I put the Kaspersky version on as well?
It's a 2GB stick so should be plenty of room.

GunJack

the HBCD folder will be visible in the unzipped folder

To pop hiren's on with xboot, you had to select an option, can't remember OTTOMH, will look and get back...

think it's the add using grub4dos option from the dropdown

Hi guys, I remembered DCM wrote a tutorial on this subject. Worked for me.
To update, I've added Clonezilla to mine.

Hi all

Got everything I wanted to onto the XBoot menu, but then I try to add Hirens, it asks me which bits I want to install.
Is that normal?
How do I add the lot?
