bootable recovery CD ?

[gsmsikar]

i want to make a bootable recovery CD for some systems which are running winxp and in some win98 , i dont want to make it any tough , it should only work when the C drive is corrupt and the system is not running , and it should not take much time , the amount of data would be nearly 1.3GB total...

i want to make this CD after installing a fress copy of the operating system and install all the drivers and applications ,
and if the system is corrup then i dont want to install anything again...

is that possible ?

how to do that , which software should i use , is there any freeware too?

please help me ..

thanks

thanks but will they also make a bootable cd too so that when needed we can easily restore the CD?

and can anyone tell me how to do this ?

I think they do not support Bootable CD. Norton Ghost is best if you can afford it.
