The Bart CD could have been a quick way out of your dilemma.
Seeing that you have problems creating it, here are two more
suggestions, arranged in order of preference.

a) Spare disk method
- Install a spare hard disk (4 GBytes will do)
- Disconnect your RAID array
- Boot with a Win98 boot disk from www.bootdisk.com
- Partition & format the spare disk
- Reboot from the Win98 boot disk
- Run this command: sys c:
- Reboot from the hard disk. Does it boot to a DOS prompt?
   If no, make sure that the disk is set to "active", and try again.
- Reconnect your RAID array
- Reboot from the hard disk. Does it boot to a DOS prompt?
   If no, can you force the machine to boot from your spare disk?
- Pop in a Win2000 CD.
- Install Win2000 to the spare disk.
- Boot into Win2000
- Reset your permissions

b) RAID method
Boot from a Win98 boot disk, then install Win2000 in
some folder other than c:\winnt. When Win2000 is up and
running, reset all permissions.
