Like in 98? NTFS issue.

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)

You will need a boot disk that can read form an NTFS partition.
Unfortunately a typical Win98 boot disk or DOS boot disk cannot. Check out
NTFS for DOS from sysinternals.com.

I tried doing that. Those disks only read, but dont allow
me to run an application in DOS mode. in short, dont let
me paste anything to NTFS from DOS. Suppose i lose my
Ntldr, i cant even copy paste it from another machine, coz
NTFS reader only reads, wont let me copy and paste it to
the machine.

They do allow pasting if you buy the full version. This is how it is upposed
to be. NTFS is a secure file system and this is typical.
