Hi,
I took a FAT-formatted 3.5" diskette and copied boot.ini, ntdetect, and ntldr files to it. see
I use this disk at work to boot user's pc's when their pc's won't boot normally, like when the boot.ini file is damaged on the user's hard drive. Because all work pc's use a standard image, the disk is consistently useful.
On my home pc, however, the behavior is different. this pc has an amd "dual bios" and on boot is set to look for 'boot records' from the cdrom then floppy then hard drive. the bios doesn't recognize my floppy as having a valid 'boot record' however.
i assume this is a limitation of my home pc's bios? any ideas would be much appreciated,
thanks!
