Did you try googling bootable partition tutorial? 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.

You Sometimes it pays to look at more than just the first reference that google returns. sure don't seem to know much about this. I think I made it clear what I am 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? -- Remove del for email |

boot XP x64 floppy (was: partition)
"Barry Schwarz" wrote in message ... 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. Bill |
