Hi All,
I'm looking for a method to create a windows xp boot disk that will
boot to a command prompt and enable me to read an NTFS hdd.
Booting with any other method gives me a STOP:0x00000024 blue screen.
Using the 6 winxp startup floppies is no different from booting via the
winxp disk. You get to the step in setup where it asks you to "install
winxp" or "repair an existing installation". After that step it blue
screens.
Creating an ms-dos startup disk from the "format a:" menu gets me to a
command prompt, but i don't have chkdsk available and i can't even
switch to the c: drive.
Any advice ? Would greatly appreciate it as this seems to be a simple
ntfs problem where something has gone screwy with the config files on
the drive.
Cheers...
