NT4 Workstation Repair Disks

Three NT4.0 workstations crashed on me.  It got to the blue screen and died from there, giving me a inaccessible_Boot_device error.  I tried to use the Emergency repair disk and all 3 times that didn't help.  So I ended up wiping out the drives and reloading all the software for those machines.  Why won't those disks work and is there a better way to recover from a crash?

Please, more explanations of situation: why you have 3 died WS,
what was the error (at start or after), what happened, when you tried to start from floppy, when you prepared and last updated Emergency repare disks, what is your hardware configuration...
Best regards, Eizens
The "inaccess...." is mostly related to ADAPTEC controllers of the 2940 variety.. do you have one of those?

Eizens,

I don't know the reason for the crashes.  When I tried to start from the floppy disk, setup tells me it has 'Finished making repairs to your system'.  Then when I boot up I get that inaccessible_boot_device error again.  I have p120's with no cd-rom's installed.  The hard drives are Maxtors.
