Help!
I have an old lappy I want to try and install Nt on.I can't seem to get it to load.I installed 95 and tried to followup with nt but it wants the drive formatted so I did.How do I get it to load from the disk.I have never had a problem installing an OS.

You make three bootable floppy diskette for NT to load up in Win95. I believe the command is winnt /ox or just do a winnt /? and it will tell you to make 3 diskettes. If you're trying to boot up with the cdrom, change the boot order to cdrom to load first.

It still want load.It will read the disk but it says it has to be formatted.If I do that it want boot from the disk.I'm not sure what you meant by the three disks.I'm trying to get it to reconize my pcmcia card so I can do all the updates on whatever os I get it to load.
