Can a floppy be used to get a directory of the files on hard drive in XP?
 
Hi

I'm not sure what you mean? You can direct a listing of the files on a hard
disk/partition to a floppy in a text file.
 
No, I mean to boot with a floppy and read the files on the hard drive, not
run programs. I have seen a reference to NTFS reader but am not sure where
to get this program.
 
Here are some questions for you:

* By "use a floppy" do you mean boot your computer with a
bootable floppy disk?

* Is your system presently in a state where you cannot
view the contents of your hard drive with Windows Explorer?
