Create a Boot UBS

Although I found the program to all it was supposed to I was unable to create a DOS Bootable USB Drive

Life Saver

I had 2 virus files (byxyabc.dll & nnnnl.dll) which Zone Alarm could not remove (even when set to delete on reboot). I knew i needed access to the hard drive without booting into windows. Even in diagnostic mode windows still had hold of these 2 files. I simply booted from an old Win98 boot floppy then ran NTFS4DOS, went to windows/system32 and deleted the files. BINGO....no more virus after rebooting :) Thx Heaps

I had a problem

Whenever I used /dir command, with any handle, it would list my files then the computer would freeze. (This is in DOS from a windows ME boot disk)

If this is an un-addressed problem, that would be wonderful to have it fixed. I did delete a virus only after knowing the EXACT path of it without using /dir.

NTFS4DOS does what it says

How do you find a stealth virus? If you have to load Windows to run your virus checker, you can’t be sure if you are seeing what is actually there. And since Windows sprays installed programs all over the computer, you can’t usually run the virus checker from a separate boot CD. Try to find a simple standalone scanner that runs under Windows without installation. I couldn’t. This leaves – of all things – DOS, the only OS any such scanner will run on.

It’s not too hard to make a DOS-bootable CD so the lack of a floppy drive isn’t insurmountable. The inability of DOS to cope with NTFS drives is a bigger problem. I looked at various programs that claimed to solve this but they all had limitations. Only NTFS4DOS did what I wanted, and did it perfectly. With it I was able to navigate the drive without problem and read and write anything I wanted. It was completely stable and there were no problems at all, as easy as negotiating a FAT drive. I booted DOS from the CD, ran NTFS4DOS to access the hard drive, then ran F-Prot to scan all the folders on the drive. And yes, I found some viruses that didn’t show up in Windows. Everything worked perfectly.

This is a very good product that does exactly what it says. My only niggling criticism would be the irritating start-up screen that s-l-o-w-l-y asks for constant reassurance that I really am not using it for commercial purposes, but I suppose that is not a huge price to pay for what the program does.

My test

This is a useful program for dos users but crash when I do a "dir" statement such as "c:\> dir" and C is an USB hard disk or partition with high capacity. I dont know if the problem is the hard disk capacity or the USB. The message on the screen refers to a memory problem, I think, and is independent from the memory configuration I set (even with a coventional memory of > 600 K).

Windows Guru

I keep all my HD's in FAT-32 mode, so I can access them via a simple DOS boot disk, but for my customers who almost all have NTFS drives, my only hope is NTFS4DOS.

It's a life saver for any working tech. I wouldn't leave home without it!
It's worth its weight in GOLD, but didn't even cost me a penny. Thanks to the guys at Avira!

I've put it on a floppy disk, formatted in MSDOS and added a few extra programs to make it even more usefull. God, I love this program!!!
