SUMMARY
=======

When you run the Emergency Recovery Utility (ERU) wizard in Windows 95, you may
use a formatted floppy disk even though the wizard prompts you to insert a
formatted system disk.

MORE INFORMATION
================

When you use a formatted floppy disk instead of a formatted system disk with the
ERU wizard, you can not use this disk as a bootable disk. Other than this disk
not being bootable, it is the same as if you use a system disk.
