DOS Bootdisk w. Perc3/DI Drivers and NTFS support needed badly please help

I give up. Tried a million different variations, but can't seem to succeed. Can someone please send me an image of a DOS Bootdisk w. Perc3/DI Drivers and NTFS support. I need it to restore a PE 2650.

Have you tried an "fdisk /status" when at the dos-prompt (does obviously require fdisk.exe on the floppy)?

If the bios is enabled dos should have native support for seeing any containers. DOS couldn't read the filesystem obviously, but fdisk should see the partitions (/status provides information about partitions seen on drives/containers without going into fdisk itself where the wrong step could delete partitions).

What are you trying to achieve?

Is the OS unbootable and you're trying to retrieve the data or something? If so, if there's space, have you considered a parallel install (install Windows on the same C-drive, but in a different directory) to allow you to get your data off (use a network connection to copy it to another computer/share on the network).

I just want to be able to restore an image of the OS remotely. I can do it locally with a BartPe CD, but I can't access BartPE from the RAC. Right now the server is working fine, but I just recently had to fly 5000 miles to restore an image on this server. The Datacenter where the server is hosted has a stupid policy that they are not allowed to restore an image due to legal implications. Restoring the image is a very simple process with BartPe. Maybe if it was possible to make a BartPE CD with RAC support, then it would be great. I know that some people on this forum have had success with making a boot floppy with Perc 3/DI and NTFS support where they restored stuff with Ghost. Unfortunately none of the lucky ones have answered my messages.
