JKstang 0 Posted November 7, 1999 For someone else maybe....I finally have Win2k RC2 running just the way I want [play my games, watch my DVDs, record my CDs..just no CDRW...no Direct CD ]. Now, I have the ability to create a backup image of my system with the Plextor CD-ResQ software, but it won't run within Win2k like it would in Win9x, I need to create a boot disk. I can't 4 the life of me figure out how to do this. It was simple in DOS and in Win9x, but the only thing I seem able to do in Win2k is create setup disks. Please, just don't tell me I'll have to manually assemble it from scratch. It's been a LONG time since I had to do one and have probably forgoten all the basics. If any of you can help me on this last obsticle, I won't be bothering you gurus again. (Unless u know a way around that 444 exp date thingy ) [This message has been edited by JKstang (edited 07 November 1999).] Share this post Link to post
Confuzed 0 Posted November 7, 1999 boot disk eh... well i tried to format a floppy here in nt and put system files on it just last night... but to my suprise there is no way that i found to make a floppy bootable in w2k. find a friend who is still running win 9x and have him make you a boot disk by right clicking on the drive in my computer and selecting format... in the format program select the drive and check the box that says "copy system files" Share this post Link to post
JKstang 0 Posted November 8, 1999 Well I had forgotten one basic thing, if you boot from a floppy disk it doesn't matter what's on the hard drive, as long as all hardware drivers are properly loaded, all the devices will work. Thanks alot, a modified Win98 boot disk did the trick. Now I can screw around and try to get Direct CD 2.5 to work. If I hose it, I've got the backup. Again Thanks, Share this post Link to post
