| 60220 | 2002-07-06 05:06:00 | Brendon, I'm not sure you can create a bootable DOS floppy from within Win2k (you can in WinXP although that's all you get a boot!). I tend to use Win98/WinME boot diskettes or CDGod. See also Graham L's reply in pressf1.co.nz Babe. |

| 60221 | 2002-07-06 06:37:00 | To create a Windows 2000 Professional bootable diskette you will need four 1.44MB diskettes and the Windows 2000 Professional CD. Click Start / Run / browse to the CD-ROM drive. Open the Boot disk folder and double-click makeboot.exe and click ok to launch the program to create the diskette. |

| 60222 | 2002-07-06 07:51:00 | Don't confuse the Windows Setup Disks with a boot disk. It is possible to create a boot disk - but it is not covered in Windows 2000. It was covered in the training material for NT 4.0 before being discontinued. The information is within the MS knowledgebase - "nt boot disk". To boot to DOS requies either: A boot disk described above plus 2000 installed on FAT32, or A boot disk described above plus a FAT16 or FAT32 formatted drive. |
