    Regarding "Frequently asked questions: How to make an ntfs bootdisk",

    I followed the instructions there and copied those 3 files onto a floppy but when I look on the floppy there is nothing there. What went wrong?

    They didn't copy, or you aren't showing hidden files in the OS.

    So you mean, they will only show if you check 'show hidden files and folders' ? Normally I do not show hidden files, so what happens if my computer won't boot and I go to use this bootdisk? Will it not work because I'm not showing hidden files? I don't get it.

    Seeing and using files are two different things.

    Show hidden files. If they are there, then there is no worry. Your booting to the floppy has no bearing on your OS settings.
