You need a plain DOS boot disk? Or do you need a DOS boot disk that can see NTFS drives?

There are some floating around. All you will be able to do is see the contents of the drive. You won't be able to copy, delete or anything. Just see the files.
 
BTW, is this NT4, or Win2k?

Go to SysInternals and download NTFSDOS. Stick that on a normal floppy and when you've booted up, you run that, and then you will be able to see your NT drives and copy files from it. If you pay for the full version, then you will be able to write to the drive too.
 
Alternatively, you could get the linux version which is free.

www.bootdisk.com has all the boot up stuff you need. Make a Win98 boot disk, then copy the NTFSDOS stuff across, and vala!

If you go to BootDisk, download the bootdisk maker for Windows 98 and then run it. This will create the bootdisk for you.
 
You can then copy the NTFSDOS files onto that disk too, and when you have booted up on that disk, run NTFSDOS. This will give you access to your NTFS drives.

You want to get into DOS. You can use any DOS disk thats bootable. NT doesn't have DOS, i.e. no such thing as an "NT Boot Disk". If the disk isn't booting then you should check in your BIOS and make sure that the boot sequence checks the floppy before your hard disk.

Did you go into the BIOS and set the system to boot off of the floppy disk? If "nothing happens" right now even with the Win98 boot floppy, then I doubt your system is even trying to boot from the disk (or it's a bad disk/disk drive).

Umm, usually it's the delete key, and you look for the "Boot" option and make sure that your floppy is selected to be first in the boot order.
