I would like to have a diskette that I can use to boot my Dell Dim. 2400 in
an emergency.
PC WORLD had an article that said how to do it:
>>>>>>>
To make one, insert a blank floppy disk into drive A:, select Start, All
Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt, type format a:, and press Enter. When
asked if you want to format another disk, type n and press Enter. Type the
following commands, pressing Enter after each one.
xcopy c:\boot.ini a: /h
xcopy c:\ntdetect.com a: /h
xcopy c:\ntldr a: /h
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Well, I did this but it doesn't work. When I try and boot from it, it says
non-system diskette.
Any ideas?
