SYMPTOMS
You have Winternals NTFSDOS Professional installed on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows 2000. You try to create an NTFSPRO disk by using a separate disk. When you do this, you may receive one of the following error messages:

Error copying [NT root]\system32\NTFS.SYS

Error copying [NT root]\system32\NTOSKRNL.EXE



CAUSE
This issue occurs because there is insufficient space on the disk.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use a blank disk when you create the NTFSPRO disk.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, follow these steps:
 * 1) Use a completely blank disk to create the NTFSPRO disk.
 * 2) Run the SYS   command.
 * 3) Start the computer by using the new disk.



MORE INFORMATION
This version of NTFSDOS Professional was designed for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. After the Windows NT 4.0 system files are compressed, a single disk is big enough to contain the files.

Microsoft Windows 2000 system files and Microsoft Windows XP system files are larger. Therefore, a single disk may be too small to contain the files.
