    Windown 2000 Technical Assistance needed.

    My laptop just died. I do not have my floppy drive with me.

    Can anybody point me to some instructions on how to make a bootable Win2K CDRom for repairing this? I have access to another Win2K machine and a non-bootable install disk.


    We managed to make a normal boot disk but when I try to run any command, it looks to the A: drive by default.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Format c: is not an option.

          Find a actual bootdisk that boots? Like off a CD-ROM drive. Otherwise you are kind of screwed.

              go into your bios. and make it look to the disk drive(probably d before the a: drive.

                  No shit Sherlock.

                  Now...Knowing that I do not have one here....Can you offer any suggestions of where to find the directions fopr making one?


                  Why:

                  Again...No shit. I need a bootable Win2K disk. I don't need directions on how to set my computer to boot from the CD.


                  Please READ my question then offer assistance if you can.

                      you can't 'make' a bootable windows cd, you can only make a 'ghost' of another hdd and boot from that, it 'might' work. gl.
