I have installed win98 with Fat32 on my C: and win2k with Fat32 on G: second hard disk
but after I replaced my hard disk with new one then I used Drive Copy to copy everything from my old disk. And now my Win2k won't boot anymore
a don't have boot disk for Win2k and I'm stuck. I'm searching for anything to gain access to my Win2k. How can I create boot disk for Nt without having access to winnt machine?
Please anyone!!!!
Thanks for any response

You have a mess and your directions of what you did are even worse! W98 must be on the C partition of what ever drive you have installed. You're not making sense that you installed W2KP on second disk and then used drive copy to copy everything from your old disk. If you want the second disk to become your new primary drive, you should have copied over W98 to it first. Then installed W2KP onto the new drive. Then you could take the old drive, reformat it and use it for data storage. Do you want to try to explain it again?

I had the same problem but did do the copy the correct way as W2K Stud suggested but found out that Disk copy does not have the ability to copy w2k. I even called Partition
Magic people and ask if their's would and they said no. You will need to reinstall w2k
with your CD's.

Either use the win2k boot disks, or win2k CD with CD boot on, and run the recovery console - from the console, type FIXBOOT. it should work - Let me know more exactly when your problem is, and I am sure I can fix it...
