    Hello all,

    Been running my NT 4.0 sp6a box for over a 2 years without any problems. I
    am in the process of installing a cdr/cdrw drive on my system and I want to
    update my ERD before I make any changes to my system. This is where I am
    running into a small problem. I can start the ERD utility and everything
    goes well until I get to the part where the files are copied to a floppy
    disc. It copies for bit then gives me an error message stating that the disc
    is full and the procedure cannot be fully completed. The floppy disc that I
    am using is brand new, freshly formatted, and completely blank. Is there
    something that I am missing here or is there a trick to updating my ERD?

    If anyone does answer, please reply to the newsgroup as well as to me
    privately by email at: cwr_opera@operamail.com

    Thanks,
    Charles
