Hey, guess what Dave. You can run mkboot32.exe in DOS
mode, you can only run makeboot.exe. And guess what else,
I try installing Win2K again and I get a Disk I/O error
Status=00001006 NTDetect Failed message. I can't find a
darn thing on Micrsoft about this specific error! Now I
sit dead in the water with a computer I can't install
Windows on. Funny things is, I had Win2K installed
perfectly. Then while trying to install the proper video
driver, something got mucked up. Then I got some error
during bootup when the Windows 2000 with NT technology
startup screen in on. The error paints itself write in
the middle of that image, and I can't boot any further,
ANYMORE. So I try install Win2K all over again, and I end
up at the point above with the Disk I/O error. Mail me a
gun, so I can shoot the system or myself, which ever seems
good to me at the time. Please cc: me on your reply.
