Re: www.sysinternals.com NTFS Boot disk

Problem with NTFSDOS. The saga follows and hopefully someone can explain how
to remedy.


Here is my problem hope someone can help or let me know what is messed
up.


I have a P4 2.4 Ghz system with three hard drives:
C = 80 gig
D = 80 gig
E = 120 gig


Under W2K I can run and see all drives, folders and files. However, when I
experiment with NTFSDOS after using the command.com from Win98
to boot the system NTFSDOS only sees the physical D and E drives. It mounts
the D as C and the E as D. As a further test in the I went to
the bios and removed the D and E drives. Next rebooted the system and ran
NTFSDOS. After NTFSDOS ran it said there were no NTFS volumes on
the computer.


I boot from a floppy and no matter what the physical c is never recognized as a
NTFS drive even though W2K and PM8 both say NTFS. No errors reported by
PM8(partition magic).


I have even had a friend come over with an NTFSDOS floppy.


His configuration is NTFSPRO


Sitting on his floppy are the following files:
Command.com
Drvspace.bin
himem.sys
msdos.sys
NTSKRNL.gz
NTFS.gz
license.bin
NTFSPRO.exe


We know the NTFSDOS works because it sees my physical D and E drives as NTFS
volumes.



Does anyone have any suggestions please post or email me.


Thanks
