Solve : Boot disk that doesn't see c:?

1.	Solve : Boot disk that doesn't see c:?
Answer» I'm trying to use a BOOT floppy to run up an XP machine in DOS mode to copy some files from an old machine using laplink 5 onto the new C: drive. The DOS boot DISK LOADS, but attempting to select the C drive at the A:\ prompt, I get an error message SAYING 'invalid drive selected' What should I include in the autoexec.bat or config.sys so that the C: drive is visible?If the XP partition is formatted with the NTFS filesystem, MS-DOS will not see it. If you just want to read files from the disk, you can use NTFSDOS from http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/ntfsdos.shtml If you want to write, they'll be glad to sell you the Pro version, something like $300 as I recall...
