Windows 2003 Bootable Disk

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;325879

Create a Boot Floppy with a Windows Server 2003-Based Computer:

1. On your Windows Server 2003-based computer, format a floppy disk.
2. Copy the Ntldr file from one of the following locations to the disk you formatted
3. Copy the Ntdetect.com file to the disk you formatted.
4. Create a Boot.ini file on the floppy disk you formatted

The following example works for a single partition SCSI drive with Windows Server 2003 installed in the Windows folder, but the exact value in the [operating systems] section depends on the configuration of the Windows Server 2003-based computer for which you are creating the boot floppy:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
Default= scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows

[operating systems]
scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003"

If your computer starts from an IDE, EIDE, or ESDI hard disk, replace scsi(0) with multi(0).

Example:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003"

If you are using scsi(x) in the Boot.ini file, copy the correct device driver for the SCSI controller in use on the computer, and then rename it Ntbootdd.sys.

If you are using multi(x) in the Boot.ini, you do not have to do this.
Start your computer by using the floppy disk, and then log on to Windows Server 2003.
