It wouldn't work anyway on a NTFS drive.
Nor could you "copy" the files because Io.sys is location specific and must be in the first sectors following the MBR.
You would have to do a "sys C:" with a Win-9x boot disk, but then you would loose the ability to boot into XP because it would overwrite the pointer in the MBR looking for the XP boot files.
(Thats whats giving you the error now, the MBR is looking for NT).
