[LUAU] Recovery disc.

I use a program called Ghost to make an image of the disk to another disk I
have in the system.  I ghost the drives just before I make any changes to
the system, then after I test the changes.  It works well, but requires a
spare hard drive to do this.  Ghost fits on a bootable floppy so is easy to
run.
