Re: RootARipper

I would like to use rootaripper but don't understand how to do it. 
Downloading the zip file and executing it creates a folder. What is 
next?   I have a USB floppy drive but XP says that the diskette is 
unformatted. Is there more documentation on the DKV site?  Thanks in 
advance.
