There is a new util that can get the any bootsector from bootable CD's!
Get it here, free! http://www.nu2.nu/bbie/
ISObuster, WinISO are GUI tools that also can do this
NT4: To Boot or not to Boot
Want to make custom NT4 boot CD, get the NT4 bootsector-file, get identifier files from original NT4 CD-rom.
Or better use the win2kboot file and when you boot your NT4 CD you get the choice to boot or not!
You need a extra Win2k file in your NT4 i386 folder to get this trick to work! Get the bootfix.bin from the i386 folder on the Win2k CD.
This is cool cause everyone has experiences rebooting an NT4 box with the NT4 CD still in the drive, few minutes later you'll find you NT4 box in setup. This is more inconvenient if you remotely rebooted your NT4 box!
Extra TIP! after installing your servers change the BIOS settings of the server only to boot from the hard drive and not floppy or CD-rom. Then you won't have the surprise of remotely rebooting a machine from your home to solve a problem and discover it won't come up, after driving to the office on your free Sunday you find a floppy in the drive.....
NT 4 Enterprise Edition is a double CD, but you can make it one by creating your custom boot enterprise CD:
Remove the install files of the CPU type you'll never use, in most cases just leave the install files of i386.
Now you have space to fill with the second CD and an unpacked Service Pack6!
Can't help you on this one, but now I have all the Logo's ;-)
