Hi I would like to boot up with a boot disc to make some changes in dos mode! that also needs to read the NTFS format.
Does somebody know where i can download a NTFS Boot disk?Thanks
short of buying a product to do this, i dont think theres a way. its also said not to be reliable, so yeah ... good luck =/

If you need to access NTFS drives from MS-DOS, NTFSDOS Professional is the solution. With NTFSDOS Professional you can boot to a diskette-based MS-DOS environment where you can easily mount NTFS drives and run DOS programs to read, write to, repair or otherwise
modify the drives just as you would FAT drives. With NTFSDOS Professional, you can enjoy the benefits of the NTFS file system with the safety and flexibility of MS-DOS bootability.Key features:
* Provides full read/write access to NTFS volumes
* Works with Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000
* Supports long file names under MS-DOS
* Supports CHKDSK
* Works with DOS antivirus tools to scan and clean systems while they are offline
* Detailed Information about NTFSDOS Professional...

COMMAND
ntfsdos.exe
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
Win NT 3.5, 3.51, 4.0
PROBLEM
This vulnerability was originally presented on:
www.ntshop.com/security
and this text is their credit.
NT secured filesystem (NTFS) can be read from DOS/Windows/Windows
95, bypassing filesystem security. A hacker could boot an NT
system from a DOS floppy with ntfsdos.exe and read all
information on hard-disk.A NTFS-read capable 'ntfsdos.exe' driver is available publically
to locally mount an NTFS volume, a read/write version (v1.5) is
expected soon. This will allow a hacker to alter system
information.The program, named NTFSDOS.EXE, can be used to read drives
formatted with NT's proprietary file system, NTFS. By placing
NTFSDOS.exe on a DOS boot floppy and booting an NT machine with
it, a user can see password files, security features and
administration databases. (Previously, only NT itself could read
NTFS-formatted drives.)Because NTFSDOS.exe doesn't work through NT, it ignores user-based
permissions and allows anyone access to every byte on an NTFS
drive. Since NTFS doesn't normally encrypt data, unencrypted text
and data files are directly readable-even with something as simple
as the DOS TYPE command.SOLUTION
Disallow access to floppy disk until needed, monitor the NT
systems with Systems Management Server, use the system's BIOS
password protection, and disable floppy booting.
