Boot Disk Question/back-up Utility in WXPProsp2 question
hello all, I am hoping someone can help with this.
I used the backup utility that comes with XPPro/(i am running sp2) and used the wizard process. I chose the one that says you will be prompted to make a floppy once the back-up is done. The back up is done(i copied the whole of "C" drive onto another drive on my machine) but there was no prompt to make a floppy. I guess i have two questions.. 1. what happened to the prompt, how do i get the wizarfd to work etc etc 2. to make my own floppy, what files should i put on it? thanks, fat57 |

I believe you selected the option to backup an entire drive, the wizard
allows you to select where/what to backup to. It maybe that you wished instead to create an ERD - ermergency rescue disk, a floppy - This is the bottom btn on the backup welcome screen.

yes, that is button i used, the bottom one, it is the wizard called
Automated System Recovery Wizard: The ASR preparation wizard helps you create a two part back up of your system: a floppy disk that has your system settings, and other media that contains a back up of your local system partition. the above is what is says. what it does however, is to create the backup and then it doesn;t ask me to make the floopy, it just finishes the back up and then closes. my question is still............ggggg 1. is there something i need to do besides what i am doing to get the ASR to make the floppy(ie, prompt me and go through the process, whatever it is)? 2. If i make my own floppy not using the ASR wizard what should i bew putting on it? thanks... fat57 and "DL" dl@spoofmail wrote in message ...
