DOS stands for freedom, openness and progress. Let us work hard, learn from the openness and GNU spirit of FreeDOS and Linux, and together build and grow a free GNU GPL world!

The original system was 98
Later there were some problems, so I used ghost to restore it
It crashed halfway through the restore, and now the hard disk won't boot
Booting with dos7.1 says "ntldr miss"
I formatted the floppy under win2k. What's the best way to fix this?

A floppy formatted in Win2k will automatically get Win2k's DBR boot sector, while the DOS 7.1 boot disk does not have Win2k's boot files, so this method is wrong...
The correct method is to directly use WinImage (or hdcopy, kingcopy, etc.) to copy the image to the floppy
Somehow somewhere I've got to choose.
No matter if it is win or lose.

Many thanks to all the posters above, looks like this can't be done under win2k.
Recently I was planning to set up my old junk PC again to play with DOS, but I have no idea where that P100 CPU got tossed to
Annoying
