Thanks to both of you for responding.  I am fully aware that it is possible
to restore DOS and Windows systems using the OS/2 client.  In fact, I already
have what I feel is an excellent solution for building customized OS/2 rescue
diskettes.  It is built on the work of others, but it makes building them a
breeze.

However, in our environment this option is not viewed as satisfactory for
our Windows users.  Most of our Windows users are not licensed for OS/2, and
do not have access to an OS/2 system to build rescue diskettes with.  What
I am looking for are cookbook procedures that our Windows users can use to
(1) prepare for a disaster (i.e., boot disk failure), and (2) re-build their
system.  I have built this for OS/2 and for the Mac, but now I would like to
do it for Windows as well.

Andy: I am interested in what you have for Windows, if it's not too much
trouble.  Thanks.
