Hey all... this may seem like a silly question, but how do you make a boot disk in win2k when you have a NTFS partition? i want to boot to DOS off of a disk, but my old FAT32 boot disks wont recognize my NTFS hard drive... so i assume the solution is to just make a boot disk within win2k.. but i'm not sure how to go about it.

Windows 2000 has no DOS SubSystem...therefore, no DOS boot disk.

You have two choices with Win2k - boot from the CD or use MAKEBOOT.EXE in the BOOTDISK directory on the CD to create your boot disks. In Windows Explorer just double-click on MAKEBOOT.EXE. It will ask you which floppy drive you want to use. Have four (4) fresh floppes on hand and go to town.

Or you can also just boot with the W2K CD - go into recovery mode & you can launch the command prompt only (recovery console). You still need an ID & password to do this.
