- TITLE :Repair Utility Fails if Computer Name is More Than 8 Character
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced
- Server version 3.1
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- The Windows NT Resource Kit includes a utility, REPAIR.EXE, that lets you
- create a new Emergency Repair Disk from current registry settings. If your
- computer name is longer than eight characters, creating a new Emergency
- Repair Disk fails.
-
- Example
- -------
-
- REPAIR /s /x /nPRODUCT /pA:
-
- This will override the default computer name with the name PRODUCT.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- The utility creates a directory using the computer name. Because the disk
- is formatted as FAT, it does not accept a name longer than eight characters
- for a directory name.
-
- WORKAROUND
- ==========
-
- To avoid this problem, use the /n switch and specify an alternate name.
