Creating a Boot Disk for NTFS or FAT

by realtek . Updated 25 years, 8 months ago

I have sweated over MS documents “Q119467” and have been unable to create a NT boot disk.

I have formatted a new disk from (NT) & also copied the NT setup disk1 & deleted files,

Copied NTLDR (did not need expanding NTLDR._),
copied NTDETECT.COM to the disk,

Copied the existing BOOT.INI (one IDE drive and partition 2 has NTFS – the NTFS system foleder is really on drive C:)

BUT when I try to boot – an error message;
Couldn’t find NTLDR
Please insert another disk.

Note: NTLDR isthere. I have copied both from the IDE drive and also tried from the CDROM.

Can anyone please help – I think MS are having a lend of me.
