ERD - Not enough space

The software hive grows over time, such that a floppy can no longer hold
the contents of the repair directory. If you run
rdisk /s-
the backup will by-pass the floppy and only update the winnt\repair
directory info. You can then backup this directory. In the event you do a
repair and don't have an ERD; Repair will attempt to find and use the
winnt\repair dir info. Worst case you could use your winnt\repair dir backup
data with a parallel install to effect repairs.
