You know that there isn't anything so special about the Windows 2000 ERD or what is on it. It is not bootable and it contains only 3 files:

autoexec.nt
config.nt
setup.log

The files are copied from: C:\WINNT\repair. Setup.log is the imporatant file. I don't think making the cd would be a big problem, getting the repair process to use it instead of the A: floppy drive would be the problem, like trying to get Mass Device Drivers (F6 when installing Windows) to accept a CD instead of a floppy, it doesn't work for the F6 routine and I don't think it will work for the repair process. An internal diskette drive cost about $15 and a USB diskette drive about $50. I think that is the only solution to the problem.
