Hello,

 

I need small utility that can create a NTFS partition. It needs to fit on a

boot floppy with lots of room to spare. It needs to not care what OS is

presently booted.

 

TIA

Partition Magic (by Symantec) has the option to create floppy resucue disks.

 

These should be able to do what you want.

 

However, PM uses more than one floppy, so it does not meet your requirement

of fitting on "a" floppy with room to spare.

Watch your first question. If more people come up with more ideas, they

will reply to it. Some people only do this once a week or so. Its a

weekend, you may get more viewers about now.

You are the 2nd person to double post but can't see it today. I

searched google groups for the other and found only one post. You

maybe in the same boat. I appologize, not sure how its happening and I

have not searched for your other post, but I have the headers and

messages on my PC. Not sure of google. Life keeps going.

Re: Need utility to format NTFS partition

 

Pegasus, thanks for the link to WUG site where I found the replys to my

post. My COMCAST news server has a big hole about 1.5 days long with no

messages on this group.

You could use the microsoft news server instead of Comcast when you want

to consult the Microsoft forums.

 

In your news reader program, setup a new "news account" and use

"msnews.microsoft.com" as the server name, the server is free and doesn't

require login name and password.
