Spid's Mon (2/3) Win2k Pro QoD
|
|
|
| Oh happy day! I passed my 70-221 exam this morning. One more to go for my MCSE in 2000!
In all the excitement, I've lost the darn setup disks I had for my Windows 2000 Professional system. I really need to recreate these. I currently have Windows 2000 up and running on my system.
I insert a blank, formatted 1.44-MB disk into the floppy disk drive on my computer and insert the Windows 2000 Professional CD.
What command would I use to create these? I can't remember 
A. winnt32.exe /ox
B. makebt32.exe a:
C. makeboot.exe a:
D. winnt.exe /ox
Good luck and see you tomorrow fof the answer!! | |

| Now I'm wondering if B and C will both work if you've already installed Windows 2000. Has anyone tried it?
Microsoft tells you to use makebt32.exe with Windows 9x. What about Windows NT? | |

| B.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SUCCESS. | |

Well the answer is either "B" or "C". Both will work in this scenerio. Both files are located in the bootdisk folder on the Windows 2000 CD-ROM. | |

| at what point would you use one over another? | |

You use makebt32 from within Windows to create setup disks. If you are in DOS, not a window, then you will need to run makeboot. | |

| well, i just created boot disks using the makeboot command with my win2k pro.(slinky, it is not DOS).
on page 925 of m$-press, 2nd ed., they have an exercise on creating setup boot disks using the makeboot command.
nowhere in the book did they mention the command makebt32.exe(the lack of mention thereof and the fact that we had two choices, one of which i definately thought was the answer(makeboot) made me ask that question.
now, assuming they are both correct, at what point would you use one over the other? | |
| Slinky 2003-02-04, 11:18 pm |
| Yes, either makeboot or makebt32 will work from within Windows. HOWEVER, if you are in DOS then you will need to run makeboot. If you boot up with a startup disk and run makebt32, then you you will get an error message saying you can't run it without Windows.
