Sorry Michael, but Norton Rescue only has 2 options, Zip Rescue but you must
have a Zip drive and basic rescue which uses 7 floppies. You can't use a CD
because, first of all, the disk must be formatted first and Norton does not
have the capability to format a CD. Second, even if it did it would be a
waste because everytime you update the rescue disk it reformats the disks,
so you would have to use a rewriteable disk, not a CD-R disk, otherwise you
would never be able to update, and you wouldn't be able to store any other
data on the rewriteable disk since it gets formatted everytime you update.
So it would be a waste to use a disk that can store 650Mb just for something
that uses about 10Mb and not be able to use the remaining 640Mb.
