Clarence, you can't boot NT from a floppy. This disk is
the one I proposed in an earlier post, but you must make
it bootable from DOS (that is, boot real DOS and make
a system disk -- I think the command is sys a: .)
Then put NTLDR, BOOT.INI, and NTDETECT.COM on this floppy.
NTBOOTDD (.sys, I think) is a SCSI disk driver which is
required if the boot disk is SCSI but not if it's IDE.
BOOTSECT.DOS is the saved previous operating system
boot sector, for booting another OS as an NT boot option,
if any.
As I said, you CANNOT boot NT from this disk, but what you
can do is boot this disk into DOS, then replace these
critical files on your boot partition if they get clobbered.
To do so, your boot partition must be FAT, though. I don't
think you can use this with your current setup (your boot
partition is NTFS, right?). |
