This article describes how to troubleshoot problems you may encounter when you
create or use Windows NT boot floppy disks.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To create a set of Windows NT boot floppy disks, use the WINNT command as
follows:
- WINNT.EXE (without any parameters)
- WINNT.EXE /O (installing from floppy disks)
- WINNT.EXE /OX (installing from a CD-ROM)
If you encounter problems trying to use or create the Windows NT boot floppy
disks, follow these steps:
1. Ensure the integrity of your floppy disks using the following steps:
a. Reformat the three Windows NT boot floppy disks.
b. If it is available, use the Microsoft MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows 95
ScanDisk tool to verify the surface integrity of each disk.
c. If you continue to have problems, use a new set of floppy disks.
2. Use a different computer to create the Windows NT boot floppy disks.
3. To install Windows NT without creating or using the boot floppy disks, use
the WINNT /B command. For information about the WINNT /B command, see the
