I seem to remember reading somewhere that if you boot from an XP installation disk the repair consol would only allow you to access the Windows folder and would provide a limited range of commands. If this is so then is it also true if booting from the NT and 2000 CDs?
Has anyone provided boot disks for 2000 or XP on the web that would allow you unrestricted access to a NTFS partition and with a complete range of commands and consol programs available? I expect that you would have to pay a license fee to Microsoft in order to provide such a product, so I don't suppose it could be offered gratis.
This is an excellent site. Well designed and easy to navigate. Some technical information about the boot disks would be helpful. Like what is the difference between the DOS in Millienum and 98SE for instance.
