Chapter 5 Operations after OS Installation
5.2 Creating a Disk for System
Recovery
If the installation of the OS was performed manually, create a system recovery disk.
When performing Automatic System Recovery (ASR), if the external floppy disk drive (USB), with a
floppy disk inserted, is not connected at server startup, BIOS cannot recognize the external floppy disk
drive (USB). Make sure to connect the external floppy disk drive (USB) with a floppy disk inserted
before server startup (
"E External Floppy Disk Drive (USB) Notes on Usage" (pg.279)).
If the system file, system configuration or environment setting change at startup, etc., is damaged,
such data can be reconstructed using the recovery information stored in the created system recovery
disk.
To create a recovery disk, you need an unused formatted floppy disk. Prepare it in advance.

x64)
After setting up Windows Server 2003, create a system recovery set. To do this, you need an unused
