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. :1orglaugh

I got a big hammer in the garage

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.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

Any other suggestions?

aaron, dont listen to this person

oh i see.

try using a hex editor and changing all the a: to d:

Bring me that hammer so I can smack you upside your fuckng head.

Smart ass. :321GFY

bring that notebook out to the garage and we'll fix it quick with the ol' miter saw. :Graucho

what do you mean non bootable install?
