Sometimes in Win2K you may need a DOS bootable diskette to flash your BIOS, or if your Win2K partition is formatted as FAT32, to gain access to a command prompt. Normally you would have to go to a 3rd party website to get such a boot floppy or find a Win9x PC to create one; now with this tip you won\'t have to.
Open a DOS prompt and change directories (CD) to the x:\\Valueadd\\3rdparty\\CA_Antiv folder, where x: is your CDROM drive.
Insert a floppy diskette and type makedisk.bat. This will create a Win95/DOS7 boot diskette for running a virus scan in DOS. This will allow you access to FAT32 Win2k partitions from a command prompt! You can edit the autoexec.bat and config.sys and remove everything in both files or preferably, just press Shift+F5 (or just F5 to be prompted through the startup files) when you see the \"Verifying DMI Pool Data\" message which will bypass running anything in the autoexec.bat/config.sys. This is what you would do if flashing a BIOS.
Note: The virus definitions that come with this boot diskette are pretty old but you can get the exact same contents of the CA_Antiv folder by going to:
http://support.cai.com/Download/avboot2k.html and getting the latest avboot_e.zip file which contains the same contents of the CA_Antiv folder so if you need to do a virus scan from DOS mode, you will always have update virus definitions.
