Update your Emergency Repair Disk Often

It's better to be safe than sorry. If you have problems starting Windows NT 4.0, you may need the services of your Emergency Repair Disk. This disk, however, may not prove to be much help if it is not updated from time to time. Whenever you change the hardware on your NT machine, if you add a lot of software to your machine, or if you install a service pack or several hotfixes, you may wish to update the contents of your Emergency Repair Disk. This process is easy. Just insert your ERD (Emergency Repair/Recovery Disk) in your floppy drive and press the "Start" button, choosing "Help." On the multi-tabbed dialog box that appears, click "Index". Type "Repair Disk" and click "Display." Information about the ERD will appear - click the "Repair Disk" button. On the dialog box that next appears, click "Update Repair Info." When done, press the "Exit" button. When you are finished, close the ERD update utility and then close down Help, if you wish.
