Where can I get a free 64 Bit NTFS boot disk?

Question

No, my pc doesn't allow me to auto boot from the recovery partition. So I need:

Any ideas?

Your question does not make a great deal of sense. Do you even know what NTFS stands for? If you format a drive using NTFS, and then apply a bootable sector to it then it will boot. Why do you want to automatically boot to the recovery partition exactly? Out of 30 questions you only accepted 12. Work on that accept rate.
Are you trying to repair your computer or what exactly? What do you mean "my pc doesn't allow me to auto boot from the recovery partition"? Have you tried repeatedly pressing F8 at startup to get to the advanced boot menu so you can access repair options?
I have tried all of that. There is no recovery. My particular installation only has normal mode, or some quick fix mode, that also stalls. I need a boot disk that can get me onto the recovery drive.

You can boot from a "16bit" bootdisk. The bitness (if that exists) doesn't matter.

Just ask around for a Windows 7 setup DVD. Any one will do. You'll want to boot into setup and use the "Repair System" option.

Microsoft also has downloads of Windows PE, but it's only on Technet now :(

	I dont have access to a Windows 7 cd. I just need something small, an ISO I can write to a cd, that will allow me to boot. my pc didn't come with emergency disks... – RD. Sep 22 '11 at 14:04
	In that case, look up Hiren's BootCD. – surfasb Sep 22 '11 at 14:05
	Hiren is too big. – RD. Sep 22 '11 at 14:06
	How can it be to big? What exactly is your problem? Your asking for something and unless we know the reason, its hard to provide you the correct answer, that you will understand. Just download the Windows 7 iso I do believe Microsofts just gives that away, just get the correct iso for the version of Win7 installed, use the Windows 7 USB/DVD to burn it to a USB/DVD drive/disk. – Ramhound Sep 22 '11 at 14:08
	@Ramhound: Valid questions. Hiren's could be too advanced for him. – surfasb Sep 22 '11 at 14:10

You can make one on any Windows 7 64 bit system, go to the All Programs menu, then the Maintenance Folder, then select "Create System Repair Disc"

	I can't get into Windows from the broken machine. But this is still quite useful... – RD. Sep 22 '11 at 16:48
	Do you have access to another W7 64bit PC? They can probably be found on bittorrent also. – Moab Sep 22 '11 at 17:02
