I hope someone can help me with the following problem:

I installed WinXP Pro / SP1 on my system using a NTFS
partion and a Fat32 partition ... drives C & D
respectively. Everything seems fine BUT now when I boot
from a startup disk I cannot see the C: partition with the
operating system. Instead all I see is the contents of the
D: drive on C: and on the D: drive is a Ram Disk.

Greetings

NTFS partitions can not be read by DOS. In addition Windows XP doesnt
include DOS. There shouldnt be any reasons to use a DOS boot disk unless
you are running a specific program that requires it. The Windows XP CD-ROM
is bootable for all repair/reinstall needs.
