It even works with NTFS? That's good to know.

On my machine (with W2k) starting stndalhd.exe opened a DOS window (or
whatever they call it nowadays) which prompted me to insert a diskette
(and then automatically created the bootable diskette). You just have
to make sure that the path where stndalhd.exe lives doesn't contain
whitespace. (This is somewhat hidden in the README file.)

Best regards,
