When booting the server the OS will not load, a messase will state ntvdm.exe is missing or corrupt. I have a copy of the file and would like to copy it over, but I am unable to boot to ms-dos. How can I make a ms-dos startup disk since I do not have the Windows NT 4.0 cd?

Go to this website and follow the instructions.

If not

Go to my computer on the desktop.
Insert Blank disk
Right click on the the disk drive
Select full fomat option
Once done leave the window open.

In my computer double click on C: drive.
From the view menu at the top select options
Using the copy and paste commands, copy the following files to your floppy disk (typically the A: drive):
NTLDR
NTDETECT.COM
BOOT.INI
BOOTSECT.DOS (if it exists)
NTBOOTDD.SYS (if it exists)

When you are finished copying the files, in the (C:) window, from the View menu, select Options.

Select the View tab and click the radio button next to Hide files of these types: . Click OK.

Test the bootup disk by leaving it in the disk drive and restarting the computer.
