hello all , where can i find a bootdisk that can read my two drives - both
NTFS at bootup?

i need to copy a whole 870 meg drive as FAT16 to my NTFS drive , ive tried
to start up with my main drive with the OS winXP with the FAT16 drive but
only got the FAT16 drive booting up and no XP......i know it has to do with
dos going for the prefered drive (FAT16)

thanks shaun b

Do a search for NTFDOS. Seems to me that to actually use it, you'll have to
pay for it.

BTW, your last sentence makes no sense whatsoever. DOS doesn't "go for a
preferred drive," because until the drive is accessed to boot, the system
has no idea what operating system is on the drive. As far as what drive the
system boots from, the key is having them set up properly, hardware-wise.
