Re: XP Home / Boot diskette problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanx Ron,

I have looked at bootdisk.com and was left a little bewildered, which one
should I choose ? I already have a huge selection of W98se bootup floppies
with cd-rom *.sys driver in config.sys drivers and mscdex.exe in
autoexec.bat, so perhaps I should point Nero at one of those. But, so many
questions arise. My XP Home is on c:\, I have two 80gb hd's - drives c:
through k: ...all NTFS partitions so thinnking about it W98se and FAT32 is
out ?! .... or can I boot to W98se and then run Ghost's dos exe which can
hopefully handle NTFS drives ? I don't see how I can make use of the six
disk XP Home diskette set ...or is it only rhe first one I need to points
Nero at ?

regards, Richard
