boot XP x64 partition

What does a person have to copy from a XP x64 partition fat32 or ntfs of
course. To another partition formatted one of these two ways to make a
parition bootable? ntldr is one and ntdetect.com what else? This used to be
on MS's website somewhere I believe.

No I didn't. But for the sake of argument I did. And as I expected.
Nothing. I don't need to know how to use diskpart. Do you have an XP? You
sure don't seem to know much about this. I think I made it clear what I am
looking for. This is not clc. I think you're the only one not getting it. I
want to copy files not set an active byte.

Are you wanting to make a 2nd partition boot-able ?

I use EaseUS for all my partitioning.

Maybe this was preparing a floppy bootable disk. Several files were to
be copied there. ntldr ntdetect.com and a bootable floppy was made for xp.
It's been a while.

You have a floppy disk drive ?

I have not used one in about 5 years.

I found these sites and remember that they work.

Sometimes it pays to look at more than just the first reference that
google returns.

Yes, you are right. I don't know what you are trying to do. I just
tried to point you to some reference material that might address the
question you asked. It was foolish of me to think that question
accurately reflected your intention..

looking for. This is not clc. I think you're the only one not getting it. I
want to copy files not set an active byte.

Do you really think that just copying files is sufficient to make a
partition bootable?

Are you aware that making a floppy bootable is significantly different
than making a partition bootable?

With a partition you need a bootsector and the mbr making a reference in
the partition table to your partition with a byte set at 0x80 to be active.
I believe that's all you need.

I am not thinking very well right now. In last several months I have
went from 3 mg to 2 mg of clonazepam. I probably shouldn't say that here. So
I am to say...confused. And maybe that was a floppy so the title probably
should be changed.
