    Windows rescue disk


    I have a few different back up and restore software exe's on multi pc's and they all recommend making a rescue disk in case of problems reinstalling etc.I wish to know if the rescue disks are all the same or do I need to make a rescue disk to match the different programs. I would hate to need a disk and find out the rescue disk I have is not compatible with the back up software I am trying to restore with.

    So each program needs its own created rescue disk?
