Hi,
I'm using the tutorial here but i realised that it's only for FAT partitions. is there an alternative for NTFS partitions?

Code: Select all

C:\boot>dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is C860-68F1

 Directory of C:\boot

05/11/2007  11:44 PM    <DIR>          .

i realised that it's only for FAT partitions

it says: "The procedure below is valid even if Windows XP uses a FAT-formatted drive.", which sounds like it should work for vfat and ntfs partitions

NTFS dir failed for /boot/stage2
The file C:\boot\stage2 could not be found on volume C:

do you have a file named stage2 in a folder named "boot" on drive C ?

yeah i realised this but was busy trying to figure out the problem and fell asleep before i could update the post

yeah if you look at the "dir" command's results in the post before yours you'll see it.
