Here is the word document from the files I copied
www.bootdisk.comNTFS4DOS Private is a free utility from
http://www.datapol.de/dpe/freeware/It's basically a driver which allows both reading and writing to NTFS
partitions/drives after booting from a dos 7.X bootdisk. To make better
use of the utility I've created both a bootdisk and bootable CDrom .iso
and included additional utils like Edit and Deltree.
This zippack contains 4 files. ntfsboot.txt, ntfsboot.exe, ntfsboot.iso,
and ntfswcdd.iso
ntfswcdd.iso is a another version of the bootable cd. It includes cdrom
drivers so before you burn it one can add files to the .iso that you
may want to copy to your ntfs drive. The files you add will be seen in
Drive R:
The 1.44 bootdisk in this pack is an Image of the bootdisk I created. To
construct the disk, put a brand new disk in your A: drive and click on
ntfsboot.exe If you are creating the 1.44 in XP, I'd format the floppy
first then click on ntfsboot.exe
To create a bootable CDrom disk, use UltraISO or other application that
can properly handle .isos. Note that converting an .iso to a bootable cd
is NOT as simple as copying the .iso to the cd. Your burning program HAS
to support the proper burning/creating of .iso images.
For example in Nero it's File | Burn Image. In UltraISO it's File | Open
| Tools | Burn CD Check the docs of your burning program for details.
The .iso you want to point to is called ntfsboot.iso
To add files to the ntfswcdd.iso file one can also use UltraISO.
How to:
File | Open | Select ntfswcdd.iso | Open | Image windows shows bootable |
Select your files in the lower window | Drag to the top window | File |
Save
Note that oddly, the file size of ntfswcdd.iso may not change.
To burn:
File | Open | Click on ntfswcdd.iso | Open | You'll see the files you added
on the right | Tools | Burn
Notes:
1. When using ntfs4dos or my disks, you'll be prompted as the driver runs,
type Y to agree, do NOT type YES.
2. The standard DIR and DEL commands will NOT work 100%. That's why I've
included deltree to use when you want to delete a single file. The command
would be:
deltree yourfile.txt
Deltree can also be used to delete entire folders, so be careful.
If you created the ntfswcdd CD and added files to the iso, you'll find
it's best to use xcopy to copy files instead of the plain copy command.
3. I've also included Edit so you can modify files if you wish, like the
boot.ini or win.ini file for example. Remember, if you open a file with
Edit that is NOT a text file, [yes, .inis are text files] and then SAVE
it you will DESTROY the file. However, one can safely view all types of
files with Edit.
4. A special version of chkdsk is included to fix any problems.
5. If you simply wish to copy standard 8+3 files to and fro from any
drive to the NTFS drive there's no problem.
6. ntfs4dos Private will NOT display long filenames.
7. attrib is also included. Remember some files on your ntfs drive may
be hidden. To see them use dir /ah
If you want to print this use Wordpad, not Notepad
