How do you make a bootable floppy that will allow me to access NTFS partitions?

Best advice would be make a win98se boot disk then go to cnet or zdnet or the equivalent. On cnet I found a DOS based prog named readntfs that claims to allow read access to ntfs partitions.
There were two 'reviews' on the program page and both claimed success though I have yet to try it myself. Maybe that'll be my project for today

Anyway, when I find out I'll post again.

sonny, download the READNTFS.exe program dreamingwolf told you about...you can get it here ...I just tried it, and it works pretty good. It allows you to surf your HDD with an explorer-like interface from DOS.
