I use a modified version of the ERD script I got from TechRepublic to create a full ERD of all the computers and place it on the PDC. The problem is the computer I need to repair has an ERD larger than 1.44mb. What is the best way to split it acrossdisks and ensure that NT 4's set up program recognises it.

You might think about placing them on a (bootable) CD... In that case you also need the proper device drivers to access that CD.

Hi, by mentioning file splitting you got me thinking. There is a 32-bit file splitter called axman developed by mosaic software (http://mosaicware.com). I don't know if it would work for an ERD, but it's an interesting path to pursue.
Typically when an ERD maxes beyond the 1.44 limit, a tape is used for restoration (migrating to the repair folder). However, you may want to look into axman and see if it would do the job and allow you to keep a floppy set separate from your tapes. Hope this helps.

It's not so much that any files need splitting, more a case of not being able to put all of them on one floppy.

If you are still tackling this problem, perhaps you should consider calling your local super-hero.

Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way.
