What are rescue disks?

Many anti-virus and disk repair utilities can make a (usually bootable) rescue disk for a specific system. This needs a certain amount of care and maintenance, especially if you have made more than one of these for a single PC with more than one utility. Make sure you update *all* your rescue disks when you make a significant change, and that you understand what a rescue disk does and how it does it before you try to use it. Don’ t try to use a rescue disk made from one PC on another PC, unless you’ re very sure of what you’ re doing, otherwise you may risk losing valuable data/files on your computer.
