sang_drax8 0 Posted June 11, 2000 Well i am running windows 2000 but recently decided it would be worth the hasle to reformat my ntfs partition and dual boot my computer so that i could load some of my more incompatable applications on to windows 98 and still use 2000 if desired. now before formating i tried my boot disk... and it didn't work. i tried a boot disk from a friend and it also didn't work. they both have the io.sys and the msdos.sys and the command.com so shouldn't the computer boot to the A ;( i don't know of anysetting anywhere that i could change that would affect this. If anyone actually reads this and has any clue please let me know! Share this post Link to post

lord-tenchi 0 Posted June 19, 2000 Is the partition in NTFS? Because if it is, a Windows boot disk won't work. It wont see any NTFS partitions. You will have to boot from the Win2k disk and use the partitioning and formatting tool in there or you can always FDISK your drive.... Share this post Link to post
