I don't use Zip rescue disks now even though I own SystemWorks. I made a set when my computer was new, but I haven't used the feature for some time. I know that a copy of my registry and configuration files would more than fill a couple of floppy disks, so a single Zip disk could hold this stuff more conveniently.

I own a laptop where I replace the floppy/DVD drive module with a Zip module. I made my own recovery floppy so I can boot my system to DOS. Once here, I can load the software to restore my Windows image from either Zip disks or a partition: The partition route is easiest, but Zip disks are on hand in case the entire disk goes down.

For those who may not feel comfortable doing this stuff from scratch, Norton's Zip emergency disk procedure is easy and takes very little time.

Cheers, PW.
