When I try to create and Emergency Recovery Disk (ERD) or update an existing one using the rdisk utility the [3.5″ HD 1.44 Mb] floppy diskette formats okay and the process of copying ER data to the floppy begins without incident. However, a short while later the copying stops and a message appears stating that all the information could not be copied to the floppy because the disk is full, and that “… the remaining data has been copied to the hard drive.” This occurs when I try to make an ERD on either of my servers.
I do not believe that having the information copied to the hard drive will help me if I ever need to restore NT using boot and ER disks.
I have looked at a few reference books for NT 4.0 Server, but none of these books even mentions that this situation can arise.
I would like to hear from anyone who knows of [the cause and] a solution that I can use to successfully create an ERD for each of my Dell PowerEdge 2400 servers.
Thanks
