boot floppy will not see complete hdd?

[Guest j_slobo@hotmail.com]

win xp and w98 dual boot pc booted to dos from a standard boot floppy

and then dir command shows only some of the directories on the win98

partition D:(fat32 probably)!

Could that be some issue with privilleges that one cannot see windows

folder od d:?

A basic DOS boot floppy cannot understand NTFS, which is probably the

format of your XP partition.

Get NTFSDOS. The free version can read files on an NT partition. You can

pay a bit and get a version that can write file.
