Answer Line: Which Background Programs Can I Close?

NTFS From a Floppy

Whenever your hard drive won't boot, you probably reach for a bootable floppy disk. But bootable floppies run the old DOS operating system, which doesn't recognize hard drives formatted in the NT File System (NTFS) that Window XP and 2000 use. The solution is NTFS.com's free program NTFS Reader for DOS. Put NTFS Reader on a bootable floppy to view the folders and files on an NTFS-formatted hard drive. You can also use the program to copy these files to a FAT-formatted or networked drive.
