Is there such a thing as an NTFS system disk, for doing basic things with an XP drive, like copy, delete, move files; like we could with our old W98 system disks?

The reason I ask is that I have just been working on a friend's computer with a Trojan on it. The infected file was needed at startup, so it needed something that could copy the file from another computer to replace the infected one.

Terry,

No such, per se.

There are 3rd party, some free, utils which give you read access to an NTFS partition.

And some very few which give limited write acces.

I am not famiar with it but someone on the Windows XP forum board would likely know how to instruct you on the use of the "command console".
I do believe that is what you are looking for.

Hi Terry@nz, M2, Bryan, hello everyone

There is an NTFS bootdisk that will allow you to copy files. It is about 3/4 of the way down the page in this link.

It is not the "WinXP setup disk" but the "NTFS Bootdisk" below that.

Best Regards,
Mesich

Mesich, will it allow him to write a file to the NTFS partition? I believe not.

That is what, I believe, he may be wanting to do in order to replace a corrupted file.

Thanks, all.

I have NTFS Bootdisk, and it only reads NTFS.

I've been doing more searching, and it seems that "ultimate boot CD 4 windows" is about the only thing that will do it at the moment, though I'm not sure from the website what exactly it does. Other things are in progress.

For more information see: - http://cquirke.mvps.org/whatmos.htm

I know nothing about your long post problem.
However, it strikes me that something like:

See XXXXXX

(where the X's are then number of the post)

could hardly be seen as long.
