I think I should be giving more details. I tried to view the disk in an other NT4 after this and the partion was not seen as NTFS but unknown. So I wanted to test if this problem was cronical and cloned an other NT4 disk and connected to a windows 2000 server, guess what ? after removing it from 2000, it was not booting as a NT4 anymore. I just learned that windows 2000 had NTFS 5.0 and NT4 had 1.1 and windows 2000 would, without any warning, change an old NTFS to new 5.0 version. This may be the problem in my case. Here comes a new question then, can I downgrade a partition from NTFS 5.0 to 1.1 or another solution may be changing the ntfs drivers of the NT4 to NTFS 5.0. I know that SP4 does this but how can I apply a service pack to a nonbooting system. May there be another way ?

I needed to copy some files in a NT4 system to a Windows 2000 system. So I connected the NT4 system disk, which was partitioned into 2 partitions, to a 2000 server to get the files from the second partition of it which was D:. (I did not even access the system partiton). I only copied the files from NT4 disk and pasted them into the windows 2000 disk. Every thing was fine until then. When I plugged the NT disk back to server I got a blue screen saying the disk was unbootable. Does anyone have an idea what the problem may be ? The server had serious info which I cannot recover with out booting from this disk. I'd appreciate any idea. Thanks

I want to keep my programs in a partition of disk, but drive letter changes when setting windows up to different PCs. What I needed was putting some file on a partition and define the partition containing that file as %Source% As the WPI itself can define %CDRom%, adding what I want, to "generate.js" was easy (At first I thought that only adding this to wpi.cmd would be enough after finding out that generate.js was the one finding the CDRom it was easy, copy paste change some variables:) ) If anyone needs what I needed my generate.js is attached. You only need to put a file named "Source.drv" in the root of the drive containing setup files and use "%Source%" instead of "x:" generate.js
