F-Prot external boot disk for reliable results with WinXP

[Martin ©¿©¬]

HI

As f-prot *MUST* be run under true MS-DOS,
and since Win2000/XP doesn't have pure DOS, then it must be supplied
externally, from a boot disk.
Do I just use my XP start-up disk, a Win98 start-up disk, or another ?
I'm on XP and want to create and update FP rescue disks, but anything
I've tried so far won't work

If you've got the drive partitioned as NTFS you're going to have a hard
time.

My C:\ partition is ntfs, but the other 4 are fat32
Should i make c fat32 also?

My Win98 boot disk lets me access my c drive and partitions

Hi,

I just have read the article mentioned by Zvi and wonder if someone can
clarify one point: On XP, once the Restore facility has been disabled is it
then safe to delete the entire contents of the _RESTORE folder?

Thanks, and best regards,

Not only safe but recommended. No need to delete anything, just run "Disk
Cleanup" with system restore turned off and it will clear all the junk.
