Hello, the version of the 'Bare Metal Restore' redbook you are looking at was a
work in process ('embryonic') copy that was being developed in the NT 3.51
timeframe.
As you have observed, NT 4 requires larger drive capacity, in the case of
removable
devices something like JAZ or possibly Syquest 230mb.  Another option is to
save those
old 250+mb harddrives that must be starting to collect dust and putting
emergency
systems on them, or just carve out a partition on a second drive already in the
machine.
BTW, there is a great article in ENT magazine about why you probably always
want
to have somekind of  'NT Emergency Partition' available. Check out 'Hardware is
Half
the Battle, Building for Disaster' at
