Boot disk

[roel]

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

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:

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)
