The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

XP Boot disk that can read/write  NTFS drives

Asked by TE250 in Windows XP Operating System

Tags: Microsoft, Windows XP, SP 2

This is my first post.  Tried reading all the instructions of how to use this forum but if I make a mistake by saying the wrong thing  it was not intentional.  Hopefully I can say brand of computer, etc.

Goal:  
If the Mater Boot Record gets trashed  I want a cd to boot off of to read the data files off of the internal ntfs HD and write them to an external USB ntfs drive.  Thats it.

I have in the past used a variety of methods connecting the C: ntfs drive as a slave into another computer and pull the data off that way  that works.  Of course the permissions need to be set to access the My Documents, at least that is what I recall.


E machine 1  XP os - with restore disk  no XP disk
E machine 2  XP os - without restore disk, supposed to use part of HD to re-build?  no XP disk
Fujitsu laptop XP media edition - with restore disk  no XP disk
XP seems not available in the stores, probably available on internet
There is no floppy disk drive in any system.


I can burn an iso image to a cd so it boots using cyberlink DVD  no nero.
All computers can boot to cd
BartPE  - believe it needs XP installation disk which I do not have  just the restore disks.
Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD) will boot fine but does not seem to support writing to ntfs drives unless $80 NTFS4DOS is purchased.  And quite frankly I cannot figure that set of programs out anyway.
Knoppix & Ubuntu work fine but there are permission & other issues in regards to ntfs drives   Ill work those out if needed.


Is it possible to achieve my goal as stated above?  

Sometimes I just dont get things so please word things in a way that is easy to understand to a casual user.

Just looking for a simple solution preferably gui based as opposed to dos, and of course with support of long files name & directories.

Why does this have to be so hard?
