Solve : MS-DOS Boot disk problem?

Answer»

hey hey,

i have a problem....

on my pc currently running windows XP i created a dos bootable floppy disk.

I restarted my pc and up dos comes. GREAT i thought.

But at when i tried to access the C drive from DOS I found I couldn't any ideas why and how to get round this?

any help greatly appreciated,

Ian DuffyHi Ian,

I believe the problem is that ur winXP resides on NTFS partition, while DOS bootdisk can only see FAT partition.

There are MANY types of partitions. DOS, win95, win98 usually use FAT. WIN2000 can use both FAT and NTFS.

I suggest u try to create an NTFS bootdisk - try searching google or this site http://www.ntfs.com

Alternatively, try use ur winXP CD (it is a bootable CD) to boot up ur computer.


Cheers
