NTFS Boot Disk Creation

[Guest davidtheweb]

I am looking to be able to access NTFS drives from a command line only

environment (ie: Not loading all of Windows first, just accessing the drives

to do a reinstall of the OS from a partition) I've found DOS Boot Disks, but

they only access FATxx drives, not NTFS. A search for NTFS bootables hasn't

borne fruit yet, so I'm seeing if our forum has ideas and solutions.

I think the best option would be to download the WAIK from

Microsoft.com and create a WinPE 2.0 disk, This will allow you to add

drivers aka storage/NIC into WinPE so you can use it on all your

systems. There is a 512 MB RAM requirement when booting. I believe

this meets all of your requirements.

I used this and am able to access the NTFS drives from a DOS boot disk.

Thanks all, this helped!
