Just format a blank floppy and run se20boot.  The disk needs three
files from your install disks.  They aren't in your installation.

PS: The se20boot.abs file is your documentation.  Read it.

A few things.  First of all, this only works on hard drives.  This
Undelete feature does nothing for floppies.  Second, you won't see
anything in the delete directory, since the files are all hidden.
