Isn't there some way in win2000 to make an emergency repair disk (or
bootable CD) with my CD burner alone.
That is- without floppy disk or drive
 
No, the ERD repair process will only accept files on a floppy diskette.
As for the bootable CD, you can create a Bart's PE disk (with a
Windows XP cd) or download the UBCD4Win version of the PE disk and use
it to do repairs on Windows 2000 installations.

That's right...
just boot with the disk...then opt for the repair console
 
I guess what I was asking to do was install all my current system files onto
a cd.

What you're saying is that I use the win2000 disk repair console to find my
backed up system files on the hard drive ? Sorry to be so dense, Is that the
procedure ?

The repair console is limited.

to make a backup...you can clone your drive using a utility such as Acronis
