hi, i've got a problem. When i try to reboot my pc with the dos boot disk and after reboot i try to acces my hard drives, i get the message that i can't acces it. And i want to access it because i want to install my unattended windows wich i stored in my second hard drive. Anybody know how to fix this?

Thx

Maybe your drives are formatted NTFS?

Reminder:

DOS 6.22 and Win95 1st edition FAT16 ONLY

DOS 7.1 aka Windows95 OEM2 win98 winME FAT16 AND FAT32

Win NT 4.00 FAT16 AND NTFS

Win2k/XP/2003 FAT16,FAT32 AND NTFS

Bootdisk should be Dos 7.1

DOS 7.1 aka Windows95 OEM2 win98 winME FAT16 AND FAT32

Actually Me is DOS 8.0, but it has the same limitations (FAT16 and FAT32)

There is a free utility from SysInternals that will allow you to access (read only) NTFS partitions from DOS. You can find it here:

Hi, New here. I am running xp pro do I need a boot disk, in case something happens? If so how do I make my boot disk?

Thanks for the help

You can access your partitions by booting from XP CD and using recovery console..

Yes, you are right, it's just me not considering ME a real Dos, as you have to patch it to run it from Hd.

However there is an alternative to sysinternals one, for win9x and ME, now:

(haven't tested it yet)
