Downloaded file from Bootdisk

[Robert M]

I recently downloaded a file called Nt4work.zip from bootdisk dot com to a floppy. The file was under the Windows 2000 And NT Setup Disk Sets.
;Windows NT 4 Workstation.
I had some trouble extracting but seemed to finally get it.

I extracted the files contained in the zip, but don't see why it is referred to as a "boot disk" on the website.

The extracted files in the
C:\WINNT4WK\COM\MS\TOOLS\AppletConsole

directory were:

Console.class
ConsoleFrame.class
ConsoleOutputStream.class
ConsolePanel.class
InsetPanel.class
InsetTabViewer.class
ThreadGroupNode.class
ThreadNode.class
ThreadViewPanel.class

If these files create a bootable floppy disk, how do they do it?
Should they have called it a Windows NT4 Wokstation utility disk?
Any replies appreciated.

Did you make the 3 boot floppies as instructed ?

[Robert M]

No,I didn't.
I didn't see anything that instructed me to do that.
I thought the file would create a diskette or diskettes for booting a Windows NT 4.0 Workstation.

Check you downloaded the correct zip.

The nt4work.zip file contains 4 files
nt4work1.exe nt4work2.exe nt4work3.exe and a readme.txt file that says..

www.bootdisk.com


This set requires windows to create. Put a BRAND new disk in your
1.44 drive and click on each file to create the disk.

It turns out that I unzipped the wrong file with the WINZIP version 6.0 program under Windows 95. The wrong ZIP file was expanded.

I could only unzip the file with the MS-DOS version of PKUNZIP.EXE on my other computer....and even had trouble using that. First had to use PKZIPFIX and then after using I get the files you mentioned, but with warnings from PKUNZIP about errors in them.

I guess the WINZIP program created for WINDOWS cannot unzip files created with the PKZIP program created for MS-DOS.

Not sure why I get the errors.
Can provide the text of the errors later.

I wish I had the capability to just double click the downloaded file under Windows 95 and regardless of what program is needed, have it execute automatically. Any suggestions?

After 4 hours of trying to document the problems and errors, (all the info I looked at after searching the internet was useless), I never actually tried to create the disks because I was too tired.
