Hello.

I got into a spot of trouble -typical- with Windows, and I would like to burn a windows recovery CD-not a floppy. Thanks.

You are suppose to use your Windows CD, it has recovery options in it.

Try this: http://www.ubcd4win.com/ I used it and was able to at least rescue my data off my hard drive at one time. But, one needs their MS CD along with this to create a rescue CD.

Otherwise just Knoppix to rescue your data off and do a fresh install of Windows.

Go here (http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download#currentrelease)
and make one iso and you are good to go....:guitar:

Thats the only way to recover from what you have mentioned !
