When I run makeboot from the win2k prof. CD...it makes the 4 disks, but when I tried to boot the system with the first one:
"Can't find NTLDR" or "I/O Disk error"

Whats the problem?

Are you using brand new floppy disks? Sounds like your floppy disk has some bad sectors or something on it. Try again with a different disk.

Are you sure that your BIOS is set up to boot first to your floppy drive?
