What is a boot disk?
A boot disk will allow you to boot off of a diskette instead of your hard drive. This diskette can be used to fix issues that may arise during the lifetime of your computer and/or to help load older MS-DOS games.
Tip: After you have created a boot diskette, it is highly recommended that you write-protect the diskette to prevent possible computer virus infection and to help the diskette from being erased.

Emergency Repair Disk
Source: http://www.cae.wisc.edu/site/public/?title=nt4repairdisk
The Windows NT recovery disk is created by the Windows NT installation program and allows a user to return their system to the state it was in when NT created the recovery disk. Granted, this removes all of the applications that you may have installed after creating the disk, but it does allow you to recover data files.
