The problem: DISK CRASH! The system is Unix-PC, Sys V 3.51, with a former 70 meg disk. It will not boot off the hard disk, but will boot off the floppy. The injured disk can be mounted, and some files can be read. The question: How can the system allow the removal of the boot floppy (and stay up) so the readable files off the hard disk can be backed up to the floppy drive? Please E-mail directly to me as I'm not a member of this list. Thanks so much. David Melman melman@techunix.BITNET
