Microsoft has never made the DOS version to be able to access the NTFS, These floppy boot disks are Windows 98 DOS boot disks only.

From: Gabriel Knight on 8 Apr 2010 09:27 Thanks all I tried win xp home edition xcopy (windows/system32) to a floppy and tried it in dos but it is not compatable maybe because I used a win 98 boot disk to start it into dos, I ended up getting the hdd to be recognised in win 98se (win xp home didnt) and I used the start - run - command console to use xcopy there, the hdd had lots of errors on it it took ages to copy it all accross.

From: glee on 8 Apr 2010 17:52 Yes, there's a good chance the problem was that you were trying to use an XP version of xcopy on a Win98 boot disk. FYI for the future: I had a hard drive with errors I wanted to clone a few years ago (it was for someone else), and the clone tools I tried all refused to do it because they found too many errors....Drive Image, Acronis True Image, they were all kicking me out. I booted with a BootIt Next Generation (BING) startup disk and tried copying the drive with it, and it gave me a message that there were numerous errors on the drive.....but it asked if I wanted to continue anyway, which I did. It went ahead and cloned the damaged drive successfully. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 A+ http://dts-l.net/ "Gabriel Knight" <fakeemail(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:4bbdd9ec$0$56411$c30e37c6(a)exi-reader.telstra.net... > Thanks all > > I tried win xp home edition xcopy (windows/system32) to a floppy and > tried it in dos but it is not compatable maybe because I used a win 98 > boot disk to start it into dos, I ended up getting the hdd to be > recognised in win 98se (win xp home didnt) and I used the start - > run - command console to use xcopy there, the hdd had lots of errors > on it it took ages to copy it all accross. > > Thanks again > > GK > > "Gabriel Knight" <fakeemail(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:4bbb689c$0$56423$c30e37c6(a)exi-reader.telstra.net... >> Hi all >> >> I need a boot disk on floppy disk that has to have the xcopy.exe on >> it, the one I need has to have the xcopy switch of: /e /c /i /h /k >> >> the one I have just tried to use only has /e >> >> the /e /c /i /h /k is needed ie /c is to keep copying even if there >> is an error >> >> im using it to copy two hdd's to another hdd and then use it for what >> i need to do, and I know one of the hdd's has lots of currupt files >> hence the /c switch to keep it going when it gets to these files. >> >> please help.... >> >> Thanks >> GK >> > >
