Convenience, mostly. I do not have an R-CD or a RW-CD cd -- honest.
So it is easier to boot linuz or dos from a floppy than boot a second
windows. I admit, it seems conceptually wierd to me for a recovery or
backup tool designed to help rejewvenate an ailing windows, requires
an original or copy of windows to be already working, to run the
application itself.
Call me crazy, but there are plenty of recovery tools that run fine under a
simple emergency OS like dos; why not make backup tools that do also?

See above. I have an ordinary CD only that I can not write to, so for me
my emergency media are floppies, another hard disk, or another partition on
my primary disk.
