Installation

Installation requires two steps: the CD manager is installed on the local computer and then used to create the actual CD as an ISO file. Installing the CD manager takes just a few moments; there are only a couple of steps.

Setup is over in a flash

An assistant guides the user through the subsequent configuration in creating the ISO file.

Update ISO loads the latest components from the Internet and then writes them to the CD image. Performing this update is strongly recommended, especially if you want to use the virus scanner.

Just create or update too?

A proxy server is often required in company networks

    Many times booting from xp cd , choosing the repair R option and using chkdsk /r solves the problem

    there is program called winconsole.exe, make a bootable disk from your XP install disk that does all the necessary thing that you need a boot disk to do, great for saving data when you can't get the repair disk to do what you need

  • System (XP SP3 Home Edition) repeatedly failed while trying to boot (blue screen momentarily displayed then it would loop and try to reboot again; I captured blue screen with a camera but it didn't help). Tried to boot from MS XP Home Edition SP2 install disk (note earlier SP version) and was able to go into repair section. Most options didn't work ... but ran CHKDSK and found one or more errors which evidently repaired them. I ran CHKDSK a second time and there were no detected errors. Rebooted the PC and it worked! Thanks!
