Cannot seem to load w2k, on a fujitsu B-2175 laptop. Formatted the Harddrive. Any one have details on creating a boot floppy disk with the PCMCIA drivers on it (for CD rom drive FPCCD19).

Done before on a B-2130, using FAT16, and booting from the floppy, with: (config Sys)

DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS /testmem:off
FILES=30
BUFFERS=20

DEVICE=A:\ATAK365.SYS
;DEVICE=A:\ATAKMGR.SYS
DEVICE=A:\KMEKATCD.SYS /d:PCMCIACD

LASTDRIVE=Z

and (AutoExec.bat)

@echo off

MSCDEX.EXE /D:PCMCIACD /L:D

Any help appreciated...

A detailed explanation would be perfect! thx.

Probably an easier bet would be to share that CD from your network. Create a network boot disk and load that way.

Go to http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/network/ and create the modular network boot disk and then add your network card drivers to it. Boot to the network and do a net use to map to your share where the CD is located.

Didn't use the site ... but the same idea. Had to use FAT16, and create 2Gig part's. Can load NTFS later, but partitions are all 2gigs!!! Not ideal...but it works...
