System Disk

[quicksilver1122]

Hey guys, how do you make a system disk for Windows 2000 on a floppy? I know, for Windows 98, you could just stick in the disk, go to your A drive icon, right click, click format, and then it just gives you the option of copying system files or not... But for Windows 2000 I guess it's different. I need it because my computer is jacked up again. When I start up, some message pops up for like two seconds (which is pretty anoying because you don't have time to read what it says), but I know it says something about an error during/in winlogin.exe. My dad says booting up with that floppy, will at least allow it to start up so we can fix it... Thanks, and any other tips about fixing my comp would be helpful.

have you tried booting in safe mode?

You don't need a boot floppy disk for Win 2000. If it's configured right, you can use your Windows 2000 CD to boot the computer with. Same goes for Windows XP.

They should have what you are looking for.
To my knowledge, there is no true "boot disk" for Win 2000. The only one I have ever used gets you to a system recovery panel, and once there you have to know what you are doing in order to accomplish anything

Yeah, I've tried all the options you get to start up with... The same message pops up everytime..

Hey timmo, how do I use the link you gave me? After I dl it, wouldn't the program just be on my computer? Cause it opens up, but I don't need it on the computer I'm using now, I need it on the other computer... How would I get it to the broken comp?
