A. Follow the steps below
- Make an emergency repair disk (rdisk - Update Repair Info)
- Ensure you have NT installation disks (can make by winnt32 /ox)
- Reboot the machine and boot off of the MS-DOS disks
- Install DOS (same as doing a SYS a: c: from a dos bootable disk)
- Machine will reboot into DOS
- Reboot Machine and boot off of NT installation disks
- After 2 disk will give options, press R for repair
- Deselect all options except "Inspect Boot Sector" and continue
- Press Enter to detect hardware and insert disk 3
- The procedure will ask if you have an Emergency Repair Disk (ERD), say Yes and insert the ERD.
- The machine will then reboot into NT again
- Once in NT goto a DOS session
- Type - attrib c:\boot.ini -r -s
-
edit boot.ini and insert at the bottom
c:\="MS-DOS" - Type - attrib c:\boot.ini +r +s
- Reboot the machine and you will have MS-DOS and NT options! Easy :-)
The procedure above will only work if the C drive is FAT.
