thegafferazzasatz Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 i dont know if it would work but cant you make a floppy image with a boot.ini that has the wanted options set with the startup switches, also the ntldr and the nt detect will be needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegafferazzasatz Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 well from what i know a xp boot floppy has the boot.ini (text file with boot options in), ntldr the loader for nt oses and ntdetect.com (i dont know what that does detects probably lol)for the boot.ini take a look on your c: if your runnin xp or if you arent look on the forum or i think there is some stuff on microsoft.comthe ntldr can be got off the c: on a xp system, off the xp cd if you dont have xpntdetect.com is on the c: again or on the cd if you dont have xpwell i have said xp but you could use 2000 or 2003 instaed i have read before that the newest is the best because it works with all the previous ones for the ntldr and detect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
