Creating Startup Media for a Destination Computer

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

Before you can copy a disk image onto a destination computer, you need to start the destination computer from some type of startup media, such as a floppy disk, CD, or DVD. Some disk-imaging programs provide startup media; some do not. If your disk-imaging program provides startup media, use the media and the instructions that came with it to start your destination computers. If your disk-imaging program does not provide startup media, you need to create the startup media yourself.

Figure 3.8 shows the process you follow to create startup media.
