| 46671 | 2002-05-01 11:40:00 | what do you mean by 'sort of'? stock stanard boot disk will be ok. you can get a custom one that has more features/tools like UBD www.startdisk.com if you what to do a custom setup. |

After your configured your autoexec.bat and config.sys file, then copy these also. This just saves having to load all other lengthy cd rom drivers like as in win98, when in the end, its just your own. |
