Hi all,

am just building a recovery cd and would like to use boosect.dos and Ntbootdd.sys for the native NTFS support. Can anyone help me out with these files.... they are found on dual boot configurations usually win95/98 and Windows NT/2000/XP.

I would really appreciate it if you can help!

Well, actually we CANNOT:

1) bootsect.dos is MACHINE SPECIFIC, so that you have to make it by yourself, luckily enough this FREEWARE utility just do it (for FAT drives only):

2) NTbootdd.sys is MACHINE and OS SPECIFIC, but you can make it by yourself, just make a copy of your SCSI driver to root and rename it NTbootdd.sys,

f your computer starts from a SCSI hard drive, you may need to replace the multi(0) entry with scsi(0). If you are using scsi(x) in the Boot.ini file, copy the correct device driver for the SCSI controller in use on the computer to the root of the setup disk, and then rename it Ntbootdd.sys. Change the disk(0) number to represent the SCSI-ID of the hard drive you want to start to. If you are using multi(x) in the Boot.ini file, you do not need to do this.

Have a look here (and related links) too.
