Florent,
You can easily get around this by making sure that when you create your
bootable CD, you tell your CD-burning utility to leave at least 100K of free
space available on the disk. It sounds odd, since you obviously can't write
to this "free" space, but an option to create this space does exist. If the
application you launch is looking for free space on the boot volume to write
files too (even if it can't do so and must write them elsewhere), it won't
launch without that free space.
This has been changed in Retrospect 4.2. It no longer looks for 100K of free
space. It will most likely be changed in future versions of Retrospect
Express as well.
