Comment: I am looking for boot disk(s)for Win-2KPro work station. I understand that I can make boot disks using an install CD but I do not have the install CD. Bootdisk.com has 6 floppies then refers me to a Win CD web page that is not working. Dr.D's has a 5 floppie down load. AnswersThatWork has a 1 floppie download. None of these sites offer directions on how to use their downloads. I am looking for an out-of-the-box bootdisk set up that I can trust will work. Any ideas?

Reply: (edit)If you installed Win2K on a FAT32 partition then you can use a Win98 boot disk. http://www.bootdisk.com

Reply: (edit)I just went back to bootdisk.com and it appears that the web site has been updted since I last accessed the site. Before downloading the win 98 package, I revisited the Win2KPro bookdisk section. DrD's setup includes 4"cdboot.images" downloads then a "cd boot image disk utilities to create win 2k disks from cdboot.images". Can someone explain how to use this set up?

Reply: (edit)What are you using the bootdisk for? Depending on what you need to do will determine what type of disk you need. Example:
If you want to fdisk and format then all you need is a win98 disk. If you want to repair a win2k install then you will need the set of 4 win2k boot disks. If you want to connect to a network drive and run ghost over the network then you will need a boot disk that loads network drivers and the appropriate network protocols.

Reply: (edit)I am interested in OS recovery. I do not need it right now, but I want to be prepared in the event it is needed. Am I on the right track ? Can someone explain how to use the 2KPro 5 disk set up that is downloadable from Dr.D's Bootdisk.com ?
