Hi everybody,

I am running SCO-V openserver platform running on P-100.

How can I replace root / boot files ? I want to do this because, if my system is not getting booted or my root is corrupted, I want to just replace this with the back up taken or boot/root floppy. Usually I am restoring the full back up ( The installation CD is not available with me)

Thanks

You replace corrupted boot/root files just like you replace any other files. If you can't boot the system because the files are corrupted, you must boot from a boot disk (hard drive, floppy, CD) and then replace the files after mounting the corrupted filesystem(s).
