Welcome to ERD Commander, the advanced system utility that finally brings 

boot-floppy functionality to Windows NT. When problems arise in Windows 

3.1 or Windows 95 that render a system unbootable, there is always the 

possibility of booting off of a DOS floppy disk so that the drives of the 

machine can be accessed for repair and salvage. In the past, Windows NT 

administrators have gone without this recovery option.  

ERD Commander enables you to boot NT off of a floppy disk in order to 

access and repair a dead NT installation. It is a command-line shell that runs 

off of a set of NT boot disks giving you full access to non-bootable NT 

systems with a robust set of familiar command-line file manipulation tools. 

Because ERD Commander relies on a standard set of NT boot floppies, any 

NT system is accessible, and because ERD Commander runs on top of NT, 

all NT file systems, including FAT, NTFS, and CDFS are visible. ERD 

Commander has no reliance on data located on a system’s hard disk for it to 

boot and run – NT is actually booted on the floppies. Windows NT does not 

even have to be present on the computer in order to use ERD Commander to 

access the computer’s drives. 

ERD Commander Professional Edition augments the basic set of ERD 

Commander functions with advanced features and additional commands.  

These include: 

♦

= Support for fault-tolerant drives (striped sets, volume sets, and 

mirrors) 

♦

= Allows replacement of lost administrative passwords with the 

PASSWORD command 

♦

= Supports the CHKDSK command for repairing corrupted drives
