Guest Emerald Saint Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 I have RC installed as a BOOT.INI option. If I boot RC and try to copy a file from C:\ to a floppy disk it says ACCESS DENIED. Is that how it is supposed to be or is there something I'm not doing right? If it is that way by design, can anybody explain to me why it's that way ? TIA

A Bart PE boot CD would give you much better access to the file system. Even booting the machine with a Win98 boot diskette, followed by ntfsdos.exe, would give you full access to the file system if you don't mind the 8.3 file names.
Guest Emerald Saint Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Re: Recovery Console - can't copy to floppy disk Thanks for your reply - I read it right away but then started doing research. YES. I just tinkered with NTFS4DOS. I am old fashioned about the floppies. In the past I have made bootable utility CDs with WinME DOS image and have used BartPE - but I'm old fashioned. I need to rethink what I'm doing here and stop wasting time. In particular with MSDOS. I'm going to change my plan to FreeDOS. Also less reliance on 1.44 MB floppys and get fast and free with CDRW and DVDRW. Now. I couldn't get NTFSDOS.EXE but found NTFS4DOS.EXE by Avira and got that working with my ancient diskeditor.
