SYMPTOMS
========

When you attempt to create an emergency repair disk (ERD) using the Rdisk.exe
utility, you may get the following error message:

  Repair disk utility could not copy all files to the Emergency Repair Disk.
  One or more configuration files were not found.

CAUSE
=====

The hidden file Setup.log may be missing from the %SystemRoot%\Repair
subdirectory on the computer's hard drive.

RESOLUTION
==========

Setup.log must be replaced by copying it from a very recent tape backup. Using
Rdisk.exe to "Update Repair Information" does not replace this hidden file if it
has been deleted.
