XP Pro boot disk problem.
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: BMilo03

I cannot seem to make a correct boot disk for XPpro to run gunlock.
I downloaded a dos boot disk from bootdisk.com I added gunlock to it and it says remove disks or media files and hit any key to restart.
I've since tried the command.com way.
I have it under c:\windows\system32\command
I don't understand how to do this. I have tried everything. Copying command and gunlock to the floppy and rebooting...
Instruct me please.

Hi Bmilo3,
I had the exact same problem with Win XP Pro (See http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-v...&threadid=91498). What finally worked for me, was to create the boot disk with a Windows 98 computer (FAT32 based system). My system drives are all NTFS based, and for some reason was unable to format a floppy disk that would boot up under with the Linux utilities... can't explain why, just that this was the only way I finally got things to work out for me.

Good Luck,
FrankD
