Nope, it's the disk driver needed for certain setups (typically SCSI but I have
seen it erroneously/needlessly with IDE).

If you reread my opening directions, you have to format the floppy under W2K
(or NT or XP).  You can't use a floppy formatted with another OS (unless it
somehow supported putting an NT boot sector in place) and have it use the files
we copied on there from NT/W2K/XP.  The whole purpose of this boot floppy is to
bypass the boot sequence on the hard drive, to allow booting a system with
damaged boot files.  Note that it will only get you past the boot menu - if
other files are missing/damaged, you need the Recovery Console...
