Re: Help with repair boot disk - repair is not detecting boot disk



Sounds very strange indeed. I've never heard of these four "repair" disks.

The four floppy disks (setup disks) are normally used on systems that cannot
bootup from a CD-ROM drive. At the end of the fourth disk's install it will
prompt the user to install the Windows CD in the CD-ROM drive. It does not ask
for any repair disks to bootup from again nor does it try to detect any repair
disks.

If you're trying to utilize the Recovery Console, see this article for complete
details:
