For the floppy to successfully boot Windows NT/2000 the disk must contain
the "NT" boot sector. Format a diskette (on an NT machine, not a DOS/Win9x,
so the NT boot sector gets written to the floppy), then copy ntldr,
ntdetect.com, and boot.ini to it; and possibly ntbootdd.sys. Edit the
boot.ini to give it a correct ARC path for the machine you wish to boot.
Else if you meant a dos disk, you can boot a Win98 startup disk or navigate
to;
\VALUEADD\3RDPARTY\CA_ANTIV\
on your Windows 2000 install CD-Rom and execute makedisk.bat or
www.bootdisk.com
Else if you wanted setup disks, the set of four install disks can be created
from your Win2k CD-rom; change to the \bootdisk directory on the cd-rom and
execute makeboot.exe (from dos) or makebt32.exe (from 32 bit) and follow the
prompts.
