Alright, i used to have fat32 on w2k install, i just used to use the win98 boot disk, as it would get me into dos, and i could format C:... or delete virus files if need be.
Well recently i upgraded to ntfs, because i needed to be able to have 1 file that was 5 gb.
Now i try that same boot disk, and it says it can't find hard drives. Well that makes sense because windows 98 didn't support ntfs.
So i made myself a w2k bootdisk(s) (4 floppies) and chuck that in.
Basically it starts up, and get to a screen where it asks if i want to
1)install windows
2)repair windows
3) something else...not sure
instead of taking me to dos.
So as you can see, i am simply a simple man wanting dos, where i can format, or delete files.
How do i get to dos? i thought the purpose of a boot disk was to lead to a Disk Operating System...DOS. but i can't seem to get it.
Any help?
Appreciated.
