Format a floppy on a friend's Win2K machine. (NB: You MUST use the same OS as you intend to boot.)

Copy his boot.ini, ntdetect.com and ntldr to the floppy. Also, add a simple, stand-alone text editor (Notepad, or edit, ...) to the disk for quick use.

Edit boot.ini on the floppy to get it right for your system.

Boot with the floppy in A:. Hopefully the floppy disk gets tried before the hard disk or CD-ROM.

Fine tune your changes in the floppy copy of boot.ini . When you are happy, copy boot.ini from the floppy to your hard disk.
