Installed a new server... but it does not have a floppy drive. Any way to
create an ERD ?

You can run Programs|Accessories|System Tools|Backup, then choose ERD, then
if you check the box for "Also backup....", then the reg will also be backed
up to
%systemroot%\repair\RegBack
leaving the
%systemroot%\repair\
directory files intact as original installation.

Even though the floppy creation fails the necessary files will be written
to;
%systemroot%\repair\RegBack
which can be used in the event a repair is needed.
