Default How do you make ASR restore disk without a floppy drive?

You need a floppy drive to do an ASR restore. Period! No ifs, ands or
buts about it, the Windows setup program will only accept the Asr.sif
and Asrpnp.sif files on floppy media, nothing else. This is the same as
supplying mass storage drivers via the F6 method, the setup program only
accepts files from a floppy drive,
