Is there a way in Windows 2000 to make a repair disk without the disk from the command line.

Repair disk or boot disk?

You can download the boot disks here: http://www.svrops.com/svrops/dwnlddisk.htm

You can use a backup program to backup and restore the system state.
Rdisk isn't included in W2K..

ntbackup /? will show you the command-line switches for the build-in backup program. The help file also contains command-line examples.

I never used an alternative way to backup or restore the system state. I found these urls. Maybe there is something you can use...

Try this... This works on XP Backup, not sure about 2k.

Code:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe backup SystemState /a /d "System State" /v:no /r:no /rs:no /hc:off /m normal /j "System State" /l:s /f "C:\Backup.bkf"

wow, too many weird comments, can't read any replies.

say short, yes. there is repair disk for w2k.
and even in w2k3 server you will have to have one if you want to recover your server.
and yes, in both they are floppies.

I tought we are talking about a repairdisk like Rdisk creates in NT4..
Rdisk isn't included in >NT4. You have to backup and restore the system state with a backup program...

well...
for a "simple" solution, you only need the reg-hives.
for little bit harder solution, you also need startup stuff.
maybe even setup.log...

well, way or another, there is a repair disk, but as my source tells me:
Quote:


W2K's ERD contains only the Setup.log, Autoexec.nt, and Config.nt files, but
you can still use it to repair your installation if you have problems with
the registry, system files, partition boot sector, or startup environment.
Note that you still cannot use the ERD to book your computer.




http://listproc.ucdavis.edu/archives/win2k-share/log0012/0000.html

so, what you actually do with this disk is nothing.
as NT based systems do not require you to have the diskette for you to be able to have the ability to repair.

so, I'm starting to wonder, what is going on in here?
who needs to have automated way to create something useless?

still one thing I haven't studied...
if you do a ASR backup in w2k3 it requires one floppy.
what that floppy stands for and why it's needed?
I bet it does not have boot from tape drivers.

I posted a SystemStateBackup (SSB.Kix) script to the Scripts forum that may be of interest. It uses this format, but limits the number of daily invocations (could be important at 250M per) and removes prior files after a specified retention period.
