I thought bootprep was only for FAT drives... But I went ahead and created a
new active NTFS partition on the drive, ran bootprep on it, copied over the
image files and edited boot.ini the way you said to. The only thing I didn't
do was format it from DOS. Still no success. The drive won't boot. Do I
really have to format these drives from DOS in order to get them to boot?
This seems like a very strange situation...
