What is Create Rescue Media?

#1 Post by Eriol » Mon Sep 12, 2005 11:13 am

Is this for the R&R program or for the Recovery CD program? (The Recovery CD comes with a startup disk, which I presume is bootable)

Can Rescue Media be on a DVD?

Thanks for the information.

I attempted to search for "rescue media" but I received hits to threads that didn't seem to pertain to what I was asking.

Rescue media can be on DVD.

Rescue media is a bootable cd used to log into the Rescue and Recovery.

Rescue Media is a bootable CD for accessing the Rescue and Recovery workspace on the hard drive if for some reason you can not boot up into it. It is also used for restoring a backup of your hard drive which you may have made with Rapid Restore Ultra. Choose Start > All Programs > Access IBM > Create Rescue Media > Help for more information.

Note: You should also review the following when upgrading the Rescue and Recovery program. IBM Rescue and Recovery v2.0 - Overinstall considerations

I have 2.0 preloaded on my Thinkpad T43 2686. I was trying to upgrade to 3.0, and while it went through the installation all the way, it failed to create any program shortcuts (including Create X discs) and deleted the old ones, so I have no idea where the program is now.
