Create Emergency Disks

Emergency Disks are used to start your computer in case 
of a problem. 

If your computer can start from a CD, you can use the 
product CD in place of Emergency Disks and do not need 
to create them. 

If you downloaded the software, the program for creating 
Emergency Disks (NED.exe) is included in the download. 
Locate the downloaded software on your hard disk, and 
then follow the instructions to create emergency disks, 
shown below.

If you cannot start your computer from a CD, you can use 
these instructions to create Emergency Disks on another 
computer or go to 
http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/ebd.html and 
download the Emergency Disk program. Follow the 
instructions included in the download to create the 
Emergency Disks.

Alternatively, you can download the Emergency Disk
