OS backup

[kumar]

If my original OS disks are damaged, but the PC is fine,
how do I create new backup disks of the entire operating
system - Windows 2000.

kumar - what do you mean by "original OS disks"?

This may help if you have the W2k CD. It's from Windows Help.


To create setup disks

Insert a blank, formatted, 3.5-inch, 1.44-MB disk into the floppy disk
drive.
Insert the Windows 2000 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type d:\bootdisk\makeboot a: (where d: is the drive
letter assigned to your CD-ROM drive), and then click OK.
Follow the screen prompts.
Important

You will need four blank, formatted, 3.5-inch, 1.44-MB floppy disks.
Label them Setup Disk One, Setup Disk Two, Setup Disk Three, and Setup
Disk Four.
Note

You can create the setup disks from a computer running any version of
Windows or MS-DOS.
