    I know this seems like a realy dumb question, but.... How the heck do you make a boot disk now-a-days. Apparently windows doesn't have this ablity, atleast not that I can find or that is mentioned in the help. Well I shouldnt say that windows 2000 does have the ability to do it but it takes 4 floppies. I have third party software that will boot but I can't acces my HDD's or ROM's. Is there not a way to make a simple boot disk (that fits on 1 floppy) that I can access at least my HDD's??

    I made up the ultimate boot cd and it seems pretty good....lots of goodies. But one thing I cant seem to find on it is just a good old dos prompt that allows me to access all drives. Is it there and i'm missing it or am I going to have to use the various utilities?

    I think if you look under the DOS Boot Disks section one of those like FreeDOS will boot you to a prompt. If you are wanting to just manipulate some files the DOS Navigator under the File Manager section is what I usually use.
