Guest Meinolf Weber Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Re: ASR Hello Tester, From another posting: LauraEHunterMVP: You can still run an ASR backup without a floppy drive. Just run the complete backup and cancel at the end when prompted for the floppy. You will have a complete backup. The three files needed for the ASR floppy are found in %windir%\repair named ASR.SIF, ASRPNP.SIF, and SETUP.LOG. These files can be copied to any media for safekeeping, they will be needed for an ASR restore (%windir% usually is c:\windows). To my knowledge you will need a floppy drive to perform an ASR restore, I'm not sure if there's any workaround for this. Hope this helps. Laura E.
