what does it say: "ntldr missing"? if so, do you know where the os is
installed? if so, you may be able to create a new boot.ini file that points
to the os partition (system partition) and place it on a floppy, then use
the floppy to boot. the boot.ini file is just a regular text document with a
.ini extension, so you can create it with any text editor. you can use the
following pages to guide you in creating the file:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;102873 and
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prmc_str_masc.asp
dont worry, this file is the same on all vertions of nt/2k/xp/2k3.
if that doesnt work, you can always create a parallel installation of w2k
and use this to remove your data prior to format/reinstall. i have used this
procedure several times and it works well.
hope this helps,
Dan
