How To Guard Against
Boot Failure With a Windows NT Boot Disk
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 101668 When
Windows NT is installed on a computer that has
an Intel x86-based processor and the boot record
for the active partition or files required to
boot Windows NT becomes corrupted, it is not
possible to boot Windows NT or any other operating
system on that computer. To guard against
this situation, create a Windows NT boot disk
when you install Windows NT on the computer.
This disk is different from an MS-DOS boot disk
because the entire Windows NT operating system
cannot fit on one disk as MS-DOS can. A Windows
NT boot disk contains the files necessary to
start the operating system with the remainder
of the Windows NT system files installed on
the hard disk drive
