Once properly created, you have a CD that you can use to Boot your computer from to run the WreckDisk program. It works exactly the same as the floppy disk version. As a matter of fact it is nothing more than a Bootable CD created by using the WreckDisk Floppy as the CDs boot disk.

You will have to make sure that your computers BIOs is configured to boot from CD before booting from the Hard drive just as you would with the floppy drive also. Many modern computers are now coming pre-configured with the "boot from CD" option set to only work if no Hard Drive boot files are found, so on those machines you will have to edit your BIOs and make the CD drive be the 1st boot device in your BIOs settings.]]>

Common Mistakes

After downloading you use Windows XP to burn a CD containing the wd124a.iso file.

After creating the CD your computer continues to boot from the Hard Drive instead of from the WreckDisk CD.

Common Mistake Solutions

Use a 3rd party CD creation program and select the choice "Create CD from Image File". Of course, different program state it slightly differently, but the bottom line is that you wish to create the CD from the contents of the ISO file and not simply burn a copy of the ISO file onto a CD. If you don't have Nero or Roxio software you can use this Free Program to create your WreckDisk CD. http://www.imgburn.com/

During boot of your computer there is a Key you can press to enter the System BIOs. For most the key is the DELete key. Many of the Intel Motherboards us the F2 function key and older Compaq machines use the F10 Function key. Once into the BIO feature of your computer you need to locate the "Boot Options" screen and alter the "Boot Order" to have your floppy and CD drives listed ahead of your Hard Drive.]]>

1) Purchase one. Internal Floppy Disk Drives cost around $10.00 if you shop and are very easy to install as long as you have an available exposed drive bay in your computer case. If you don't, you could also purchase an external USB floppy drive. These are a little more expensive.

2) Create the bootable diskette on someone elses computer if you have to. Pick a friend or office acquaintance that has not only a floppy drive but also a CD-RW drive. Using the CD-RW software, select to create a "bootable" CD. The software should prompt you for a "Boot Disk". Simply supply the WreckDisk floppy diskette as the operating system disk and your CD software will use it to create the boot section on the CD. Now you have a boot'able CDrom Disc that will run the WreckDisk program.]]>

When you first download the file from the WreckDisk Website, you must save it to your Local Disk C: in a place where you can find it after the download. A good spot might be saving it to your DeskTop.

Be sure that you don't accidentally rename the file that you download.

After the download completes, you must then RUN the downloaded file. If it's on your desktop, simply find the new Icon and double click it.

You will then be asked to insert a blank floppy disk into your A: floppy disk drive. The program will then create you new boot'able WreckDisk.]]>

My apologies to you all for losing your logins and posts. I did have backups, but after upgrading to the new version I was not able to get the backups to restore without causing issues.

Thus you see not very much here right now. Look on the bright side, you can be one of the first to post a message here. :D]]>
