How To Guard Against Boot Failure With a Windows NT Boot Disk
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 101668 When Windows NT is
installed on a computer that has an Intel x86-based processor
and the boot record for the active partition or files required
to boot Windows NT becomes corrupted, it is not possible to boot
Windows NT or any other operating system on that computer.
To guard against this situation, create a Windows NT boot disk
when you install Windows NT on the computer. This disk is
different from an MS-DOS boot disk because the entire Windows NT
operating system cannot fit on one disk as MS-DOS can. A Windows
NT boot disk contains the files necessary to start the operating
system with the remainder of the Windows NT system files
installed on the hard disk drive
