But the real issue is how to get it, Windows 2000, back? <more snippage> * Now, i can boot into Windows but can only get a "C:\>" prompt, with a very limited command set available.

Hi Andi, Google... www.microsoft.com... www.theeldergeek.com... www.techrepublic.com Sites dedicated to M$HAFT world domination software are a dime a dozen, so you've got lots of resources in case this doesn't work: If my understanding concerning NT/2K/XP installation commonalities is correct, you need three system files to load the OS once the partition/disk is bootable and active: boot.ini (pointing to a valid M$ installation) ntldr ntdetect.com HTH, good luck & regards, - Carl -- _______________________________________________________________________ C.
