no you cannot put the ultimate boot disk on a floppy.. But download this bootdisk, put it in the pc that is having problem's and boot it up when you get to the msdos prompt type in this..

The type in below when you get to the dos screen.


fixboot C:


So your not near the pc? ok just print the above instructions out, and let it roll./

Sure sorry about that..

Download the bootdisk from the link I gave you... Copy all the info from the file onto the folppy disk.. Put it in the machine that is not working..
Once you turn on the power it will ?bring you to a ms-dos screen ( all black) type in ?fixboot C: ? ?when you get into the screen, and the rest it will do on it's own.. ?Just in case you might have to type this in first......( as typed) ?cd\c:



(what will happen then) It will fix files that might have gotten corupt in window's..... This way you can boot up in regualr mode to come back and tell us wheat went wrong or if it is completly fixed.
