First, from a currently working machine, format a floppy with the respective NT, Win2000 or WinXP operating system.

Second, copy from a healthy machine the following files:

• boot.ini
  • (if a BOOT.INI is not present the boot process assumes that the %systemroot% folder is on the first disk of the first controller in its first partition. If located there the OS will boot, otherwise, NO)
• ntldr
  • (no extension)
• ntdetect.com
• ntbootdd.sys
  • Needed only if there is a boot disk with a SCSI controller and its SCSI BIOS disabled
