Fault Tolerant Boot Disk

[KenMcLaggan]

Can anybody tell me how to make a fault tolerant bood disk for NT 4? I used disk administrator to mirror my c drive and it says to make the disk, but I am not sure how to do it.

It is a good idea to have one of these around, plus don't forget to update your emergency repair disk.<br>

<br>
If You Have Access to a Computer Running Windows NT<br>
---------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
1. Format a floppy disk using the Windows NT format utility.<br>
<br>
2. Copy NTLDR from the Windows NT Setup CD-ROM, Windows NT Setup floppy disk, or<br>
from a computer running the same version of Windows NT as the computer you<br>
want to access with the boot floppy. You may need to expand this file from<br>
NTLDR._ to NTLDR by using the following command line:<br>
<br>
EXPAND NTLDR._ NTLDR<br>
<br>
3. Copy the NTDETECT.COM file to the disk.<br>
<br>
4. Create a BOOT.INI file or copy one from a running Windows NT computer and<br>
modify it to match the computer you are trying to access. Below is an example<br>
which will work for a single partition SCSI drive with Windows NT installed<br>
under \WINNT, however, the exact value in the [operating systems] section<br>
depends upon the configuration of the Windows NT computer you are trying to<br>
access:<br>
<br>
[boot loader]<br>
timeout=30<br>
Default= scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\winnt<br>
<br>
[operating systems]<br>
scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\winnt="Windows NT"<br>
<br>
If your computer starts from an IDE, EIDE, or ESDI hard drive, replace the<br>
scsi(0) with multi(0). If you are running Windows NT 3.5 or 3.51 and your<br>
computer starts from the first or second SCSI drive, then you can also<br>
replace scsi(0) with multi(0).<br>
<br>
5. If you are using scsi(x) in the Boot.ini, copy the correct device driver for<br>
the SCSI controller in use on the computer and rename it to NTBOOTDD.SYS. If<br>
you are using multi(x) in the Boot.ini, you do not need to do this.<br>
<br>
6. Start using the floppy disk, and then log on to Windows NT.<br>
