-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Boot Diskette Question

Hi All,
Too better explain. I was referred to http:\www.\michna.com/kb/index.htm for 
Windows Problems. It looked to me like the XP Boot Diskette was something I 
needed. The instructions can be found after the third headline:
Windows Problem Solver;
General;
Windows XP;
Forth Item down, How to make a Boot Diskette
"Or do you mean a Boot Diskette, from which you can boot the computer if 
anything goes wrong with the boot files? For that you have to format a 
diskette from Windows NT, 2000, or XP (it doesn't work from the lesser 
versions of Windows), then copy the following 3 to 5 files from the root 
folder to the diskette:
  NTDETECT.COM
  NTLDR
  BOOT.INI   This is the file I am finding hard to find. (Which One to use)

  BOOTSECT.DOS (if present)
  NTBOOTDD.SYS (if present)

Some of these files have the hidden or system attributes, so you may not 
always see them. These attributes are not required though. You can remove 
them temporarily (using ATTRIB or Explorer) and you don't need them on the 
diskette.

Then try to boot from that diskette. If the computer boots as usual, the 
boot diskette is OK."
