My computer is demanding a boot disk (which I don't have) and also has a faulty A:\ drive. If anyone has a boot file they are willing to send me and maybe some advice on how to get it to stop asking for a boot disk I would greatly appreciate it!

Is there a version of Format that will recognize a NTFS partition and allow it to be re-formatted as FAT32? Wish to remove Win2000 in favor of Win98se. Machine only has a 3.5 dsk drive, no CD. CD is available via network share.

I hve forgotten the password to my bios setup utility, does anyone have any idea if one can work around this roadblock???? help -- JaVee

When I boot up, It takes me directly to the c prompt. Cant sem to get it to launch into windows (normal, safe mode, or anything Any suggsetions? Am I missing some file, or is there some command missing from Aotuexec or config sys or something?
