    Hi,
    I'm running a dual boot system; Windows XP and Linux. I can boot into either OS,using Grub boot loader,no problem. I wanted to copy the Windows boot loader files, NTLDR , NTdetect.com , boot.ini onto a floppy or cd. I cannot find those files in Windows. I made avaiable all hidden files. I searched in C:/windows/system32 to no avail. I used Windows Search; couldn't find. I can boot into Windows fine,so they must be there somewhere. Am I missing some info that I need to know?
    I think I can use some direction.............Thank you Rich :confused

    They are at the root of the drive, c:\

    Grub passes control to ntldr so if XP boots, ntldr is there.
