wheres the option to create a boot disk in win2k? its not in add/remove programs where it was in win98se.
i want to make a boot disk to update my bios. anybody know any sites to make a bootdisk or any way to restart computer into dos?

aw man, i have to lug that cd out? i dont even know where it is!




wait a sec, its in my cd drive, nevermind

You can't do it with W2K. The makeboot thing makes the 3 boot diskettes you need to install or repair W2K if your CD isn't bootable. These are not DOS boot disks.

Go to bootdisk.com and grab a DOS disk from there.

First time using EpoX mobo? 😉

Problem with the F-Alt2 thing is that you can't back-up your old BIOS first to use in case something goes wrong with the flash.
