Boot disk for NTFS partition
What are you trying to accomplish? You can use your Windows XP CD and
boot to the Recovery Console, if you intend on doing this with DOS you will need an NTFS reader for DOS. If you want to service a non-booting Windows XP installation you are best to use the Recovery Console, other than copying files there isn't much that you can do with DOS to repair an NT operating system.

wrote: What do I need to make a boot disk that can read an NTFS partition? There are third-party programs that can do this, such as NTFS4DOS. However, why do you want to do this? It may not be a good idea at all. What do you want to do from DOS? -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

Bob I too would like to see some details from Bob Wright, to see how much his problem has in common with mine (as in my thread "Where are the hard disk drivers?"). I'm trying to construct a BartPE CD, but have yet to build one that can find my NTFS C: partition, or for that matter the drive that it's on. Just including the driver files identified by Device Manager as being those for my hard drive hasn't worked, but just recently I penetrated in the BartPE documentation to the instructions for including drivers, which require more than simple-minded inclusion of driver files -- they require building subfolders for each driver including .inf and apparently other files. I plough on when I have the time. The moral of that rambling paragraph being, building a BartPE CD is a distinctly nontrivial task for someone not experienced in this area. IMHO. IMHNXO (non-experienced). My system is XP Media Center Edition. I'd like to know what Bob's is. And my aim is to build an Acronis True Image 2009 rescue CD that works. Again, I'd like to know what Bob's aim is. |

Well, you could also download a Linux System Rescue CD and look at the NTFS
partition that way without having to include drivers for the most part. -- Randem Systems Your Installation Specialist The Top Inno Setup Script Generator http://www.randem.com/innoscript.html http://www.rndem.com/installerproblems.html http://www.randem.com/vistainstalls.html http://www.financialtrainingservices.org "Anthony Buckland" wrote in message ...

TI 2009 includes a facility for creating a rescue CD, which is unable to find my hard drive; in this case, Linux is less the solution than the problem -- to quote from the TI forum, "TI 2009 uses a different Linux kernel and different drivers than [an earlier TI version]. Most likely, the drivers for your system are not correct or not included." |

Kind of quiet here, isn't it? I guess we're all waiting
for Bob Wright to say something. |

I'm not. Speak for yourself only.
