roel Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Maybe your drives are formatted NTFS?Reminder:DOS 6.22 and Win95 1st edition FAT16 ONLYDOS 7.1 aka Windows95 OEM2 win98 winME FAT16 AND FAT32Win NT 4.00 FAT16 AND NTFSWin2k/XP/2003 FAT16,FAT32 AND NTFSBootdisk should be Dos 7.1jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfrog Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 DOS 7.1 aka Windows95 OEM2 win98 winME FAT16 AND FAT32Actually 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:http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/ntfsdos.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1K Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 You can access your partitions by booting from XP CD and using recovery console.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 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:http://diskinternals.com/products/ntfs-reader/(haven't tested it yet)jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
