re: How to create a boot disk Tuesday, October 15, 2002 at 10:51 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Chinarut Ruangchotvit (1 messages posted) This worked beautifully: "Open a DOS prompt and change directories (CD) to the x:\Valueadd\3rdparty\CA_Antiv folder, where x: is your CDROM drive. Insert a floppy diskette and type makedisk.bat. This will create a Win95/DOS7 boot diskette for running a virus scan in DOS. This will allow you access to FAT32 Win2k partitions from a command prompt! You can edit the autoexec.bat and config.sys and remove everything in both files or preferably, just press Shift+F5 (or just F5 to be prompted through the startup files) when you see the "Verifying DMI Pool Data" message which will bypass running anything in the autoexec.bat/config.sys. This is what you would do if flashing a BIOS. " Source: http://windows.about.com/library/tips/bltip440.htm On Wednesday, January 9, 2002 at 4:07 pm, Felix wrote: >How to create boot disk from win2k?
