It depends where it is. If it is on the root of the OP Sys then you can try
the Repair Console and try to edit the boot ini then. Remeber it is
readonly and hidden so you'll have to attrib -h boot.ini then attrib -r
boot.ini before you can work on it. You just stick the Windows 2000 CD-ROM
in during the bootup. You'll see the options then to get to the Repair
Console. I believe edit and attrib are available there.
