How to create a boot disk

boot
disk

I think i'ts rather easy because you can copy a Win XP CD from anybody as long as you have your own product number physical on your PC or Laptop.
Try Peer to Peer networks

I'm having this problem: I corrupted the winlogon.exe in windows/system (don't ask me why...) and now my computer doesn't work. I have a safe winlogon.exe to replace the one corrupted, but I need a boot disk that allows me to boot my pc in dos mode, with access to drive C (the boot disk that I have doesn't allow me to access ...) What boot disk do I have to download? Thank you really much!

Ah, I need a boot FLOPPY disk, not a cd...

I have a wonderful old Sharp combo fax/answering machine/AND, if I can get it working!, scanner with a bulk feed that should have it scanning fifty sheets while I go to lunch. PROBLEM: the software stops with 98. Which 98 disc do I download into my Compaq XP, and how do I install it? Anyone know?. Thanks. RIchard (richardlukin@rcn.com).

how should make bootble cd frm xp or window vista

i need a boot disk for my comp cause a virus got into it and the windows keeps reseting and it wont run in safe mode ether and im using a laptop to find out where to get a format boot disk also i need help cause i dont like laptops till my comp is gone and sold when its fixed up fully.

I've been working to resolve a computer problem using Microsoft tech support. They told me to buy a windows xp pro upgrade disk and I did. But when we tried to do the fix, they said I had to boot from the cd and my computer won't do this. So they said I had to fix that problem and call them back. I found this site with google but I AM A COMPLETE COMPUTER IDIOT so I have no idea which window or which disk image or which diskette I should use much less how to actually use one. Can someone please email me some info that even a 3rd grader can understand cause that is about the level of my expertise. Thank you for your time.

Questions
What are you trying to do?
Is your keyboard connected and functional?
Are you booting up with a boot disk?
If so What are the 4 menu items
If your keyboard is functional then the cursor keys on the keyboard should allow you to toggle up and down the 4 menu items.

OK,
So now the boot disk is in my laptop and I have an A:\>. Now what??

Hi all, I am hoping that some of you techno's can really help me out with an old problem.

My partner has an old Compaq lte 5280 laptop pc, it has given her a wonderful 10+ years service.

It was purchased second hand and did not come along with any setup disk or accompanying software, how it has survived the lifetime it did is a modern day wonder.

Most recently i have been asking my G/F to back up all of her files,this, she failed to do and now is unable to boot up her laptop, it gets a little past the windows 98 splash screen then states that

Code:
invalid V x D dynamic link call to device number 3, service b.
Your windows configuration is invalid, run the windows set up programme again to correct this problem. Press any key to continue.....

Now, from my limited knowledge, i believe this may be a video driver?

I am able to get into a). the Bios settings and B). safe mode

I Have a windows 98 start up disk, but from another PC that met it's maker a while ago, I expect some of you may tell me to fling it, but i believe if there is hope, then their is a way.

What i am asking is there anything that i could do to regain access to this old dinosaur?

P.S, working with a 3.5" floppy disk, so unable to use anything on CD's ;o)

I am planning to buy Eee PC. Wonder if I can boot MS DOS and use my old DOS Database program.
If anybody can give step by step instructions, it will be a Great Help.
Thankx

Hi!

I do have the original cd's of AITD 1, 2 and 3. I am running Xp, which boot should I download to get this to work?

I need some help with this one, I have Vista and well..I hate it, I want to put Windows XP Professional on here but I don't have any blank CD's to make into boot disks and I am using a Laptop. Is it possible to boot all the EXE files from my USB Flash Drive to install Windows XP Professional SP2?

Let me know if it is please, if not..direct me to a place I can just download the application to install Windows XP Professional SP2 onto my system without clean installing it.

Thank you,
Damien

I bought a used computer that has dual startup. Windows Xp or Freespire. I know nothing of computers and always just use Windows. My power supply went out and I had to get a new one, which I did and installed. The power works but now it wants a boot disk.
The guy that sold me the computer moved. He didnt give me any boot disk. I see on here how to make a boot disk but I only have a CD Drive on my computer- there is nowhere to put a floppy disk.
I just need to get this working. Someone told me I have to buy Windows XP all over again..is this true? There has GOT to be a better/easier way......help please.

I keep getting an error message when I attempt to create the "A" drive disks. I keep getting: "Disk error on track 0, head 0. Sector not found." I bought two packages of brand new disks, same thing happened on both brands (Maxcell, Office Depot).

Suggestions please.

Thank you,

John

I am currently using a computer that only has CD or Flash drive options, no floppy. My old computer says to "insert boot disc to continue" when starting up.The system did not come with any.I have downloaded the .exe boot disc files on my new computer, but when I run them there is only the floppy disc option for saving the files. I downloaded the WinImage app but I'm not sure how to use it or if it is even any help for my situation.

I need a Win 2000 Professional CD. My laptop says file missing or corrupt. WINNT\SYSTEM32\Config\SYSTEMced. Can anyone help.

Remember this are boot disks not the full systems, and don´t work in the way You try to use.

I have an older computer with ME OS, or did have. It kept freezing up, so while doing a system restore it did it's thing. The only way to get it off, was to power down. Now it doesn't know what stste it is in. When I power it up, I get no operating system found. What do I do? If I download a boot disk, will that get me to where I can restore again? Not real computer savy, so need help on what to do after it boots up. No installation disks. Thanks, Little old lady
