Hello,
I am in the same situation as Tony. My desktop processor is AMD Anthlon runs
Windows XP Pro. I would like to update to SVP 3 and has to do a ASR to
backup system files etc. According to the Help and support all I need is ONE
floppy 1.44mb to save system setting and a media to contain backup file. But
when the ASR start, it write all the data part on my pc floppy drive. I
thought ASR would be smart enough to just write the system setting in the
floppy and prompt me for another media type for the other data. I have to
cancel ASR as there is not enough room on the floppy disk.
I wonder if there is a way to go around it.
