the best way to boot a win2k system from a floppy is to use a windows 98 boot disk.
even if the system is on ntfs. download a driver called ntfsdos and put it on your
98 boot floppy. after the system boots run ntfsdos. (or you can put it in your autoexec.bat
file on your floppy). it will load up drivers for any ntfs drives it finds and you
will be able to do what ever file system changes you need. xp ntfs is a little different
and i have not found an updated ntfsdos to work as yet.
try the link www.ntfsdos.com for the file but you might have to search for it.
try it.
