creating an ASR disc
I am trying to create an asr recovery disc but my floppy drive no longer
works. How can i create one using a cd? I've gone through the process and am prompted to insert a floppy disc. I cannot find anywhere where i can choose what type of media i want to use. The machine is an older Dell 4100 with xp pro installed. How can i do this and do i have to go through the entire backup process again? Thanks Richard

Thanks Richard It seems that ntbackup wants a floppy and only a floppy. I solved this problem with a USB floppy drive. However, not all BIOS support use of a floppy. A much better solution is to replace ntbackup with ATI. Jim

creating an ASR disc
I agree with Jim. Honestly, why bother with Windows Backup when there
are so many better choices? --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Jim wrote: "Rich newtech" wrote in message news I am trying to create an asr recovery disc but my floppy drive no longer works.

Try Al Gore's invention: www.acronis.com
If you are not familiar with disk imaging, you will want to spend some time learning about it. Imaging is complicated, as is the software that does the deed. But it's also very, very worthwhile. True Image is only one of several well-known disk imaging programs. Other popular programs include Norton Ghost, ShadowProtect Desktop and Image for Windows. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Rich newtech wrote: I think i'm going to need a little more information than that.
