***Microsoft Announced A New Vunerability ALERT***

[jc14all]

I did the patch last night and created an image of my partition to bootable CD-R's after reading on the ticker tape news, an alert by Microsoft for everyone to patch their OS because of a known vunerability. The patch number/article is: <b>KB824146</b>, Sept. 10, 2003.

Go to updates and initiate the patch. I suppose we will learn more about it as the day lingers.

"created an image of my partition to bootable CD-R's "

how do you do that? ive been trying with disk image8 but it has to be a cdrw for some reason.

You want to smoke? That's your choice -- just like any other form of suicide.

If you are using Power Quest Image 8, it should be much easier to do than what I'm using - Ghost 2002.

I have to create a bootable floppy disk with MS DOS, instead of PC DOS (provided by Ghost), then create a Ghost boot disk <b>w/CDR/RW drivers</b> to add the MS DOS files to, and now I'm ready to image my drive/partition.

1. I bootup with the Ghost boot disk in it's DOS program environment and go into "Options" and slect "Spanning" and any other option of choice.

2. Select partition to image.

3. Select the correct partition

4. Select the option to make the CDR/CDR-RW bootable

5. Select the correct drive to burn the image (CDR/RW), and let it rip.

If you have the CDR/RW drivers loaded to the the disk it doesn't matter whether if it is a CDR or a CDRW installed. It just has to be able to see and read the drive as the image source.

Now these instructions probably mean nothing to you but, if anyone else that has Ghost 2002, may find them as helpful.
