What's the difference between bootup/start up disk and Emergency Repair Disk(ERD)?
(I'm using Windows 2000)

1-Is start up disk will let me boot up my computer if my computer has troubling with starting?
So if my computer has some troubling with starting,I can use the windows 2000 cd or the start up disk(4 floppy disks)
&
2-The ERD will not boot my system but do repair my computer.
Am I right?

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.

Start up disk moistly use as system disk , to format, copy and so...mostly use for repairing partition on your hard disk, it use for win xp.
Emergency disk use for the some but mostly to repair the partition for networking. its more advanced.
you can use emergency disk to boot your computer but it will repair the partition.
