I like the boot cd idea. I use the cd boot method on the few new HD's ive
used for a WinXP install. I googled Memtest and see what I believe your
talking about. Is it like a bootable floppy? If so, I will try.
Unfortunatly, I have only one lowly single cdr left until I go to the store.
So, I dont want to make a mistake in creating a Memtest Bootable CD. Is
there a simple method for creating one. I do almost all my burning with
Nero 5.5. Will that suffice as the burning software for this?

I use Linux. I use command line dd command to copy a boot image to floppy.
For CD's I use one of several frontends for CDrecord. I'm sure Nero can do
the same, but I haven't used it. Some where you would need to tell it that
it's an image, and not to copy as a file.
