How to create a Rescue Disk on USB Flash Drive for your computer

I would say a Rescue Disk is something that all computer users must have.  You don’t know when you will need it. One day or the other you might end up with a situation where your Windows computer won’t boot! Nowadays there are many Netbook users and most of the Netbooks don’t have a CD or DVD drive. I, therefore, prefer creating a rescue disk on a USB drive.
