I need a bootable floppy disk that can scan NTFS for errors



This is a laptop.
1) I need this because I cannot use the CD because its broken
2) the XP boot disks create the same ntfs.sys error (blue screen) when I try
to start the recovery console pressing R

3) The blue screen tells me to use chkdsk /f to check the disk, but I cannot
get into the recovery console in order to do the chkdsk! thats why I need
another disk that can check the hard disk for errors!



thanks

I love those quotes. Do you have a source for more of them?

Actually, I took each of them from a Pat Buchanan column.

His current column as well as a link to the column archives is here:

Had a similar case on a Desktop recently, turned out to be the drive itself
was crook.
Best course of action is to remove the drive and mount it as a slave in
another PC for diagnostic/repair work.

Cheers
Paul.
