This article contains detailed information on how quickly and easily you can create a bootable floppy disk for Windows NT or Windows 2000 in order to get quick access to a disk on which the sequence of boot commands on an Intel-based computer is out of order.
Necessary
Blank floppy disk, Windows 2000 or Windows NT CD, or a running Windows 2000 or Windows NT computer
Instructions
Step 1
First, you need to format the floppy disk using the Windows NT formatting program. For example, enter: format a at the command line:
Step 2
Highlight and copy the Ntldr file that is located on the Windows NT installation disk, Windows NT installation diskette, or a computer that hosts the same Windows NT. If you need to get this file from Ntldr._, then use the expand Ntldr._ Ntldr command
Step 3
Select and copy the Ntdetect.com file to the prepared floppy disk.
Create a Boot.ini file (copy it from a computer on which an identical version of Windows NT is installed, and then modify it in accordance with the data of the system you are using).
The following is an example for a SCSI disk with a single partition and Windows NT operating system in the / WINNT folder. The information provided in the [operating systems] section depends on the configuration of the Windows NT computer that you are directly accessing.
Step 4
Restart your computer, start it from the boot system, and enter Windows NT.
For a successful computer, the best way is not to boot Windows DOS emulation, but to create a bootable floppy disk. And it will be better because when forming your floppy disk, you have the opportunity to configure any necessary parameters. For example, the emulation does not include sound card drivers, so games will be played without sound.
