No luck so far, but I don't have time to really work at it right now.
It failed after reloading the TrueCrypt stuff and relaoding the header
info. It said that the password was incorrect.

I did come across a great little utility that will simplify the
process:

http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=624

Virtual CD Control Panel - ~32k

Portable, no install or reboot, created a virtual CD drive.

After creating the rescue ISO copy it to a virtual drive and check it
there.

It will save lots of CDs and time. We'll just archive the ISO files on
a server and burn them as needed.

Looks like this might fit the bill.

I looked through the documentation and I'm still not sure how this works.
