How do I create a MS-DOS disk from Windows 2000 Pro?? I have access to
Win98 DOS Disk, but when I try to run fdisk/mbr from it(A:\), it tells me
"Error writing fixed disk. The master boot code NOT been updated." If I
try running fdisk/mbr from C:\> it tells me "bad command or file name."
Thanks Again!!
