Do you have an idea to recover a boot sector of 
a disk that runs W2000. I mean, my system tells
me "NTLDR not found" but I can see it on my partition. Is there any tool like the 
old sys.com to
make a W2000 partition boot again ?

My question is for NT4 & 2000.
Thanks

If not, reply and let me know I'll see what else I can come up with.

I didn't found any tool or menu command in W2K or NT4 to make a system disk (bootable floppy) except for repair disks but they don't have fdisk nor prompt command access. Any idea ?

You will have to place it on your system partition. Just let me know if you want to try this and I'll email you the file...it's only about 210 KB's.

Boot from the Win2k installation CD. When you get the option of enter to install, there is an option R to repair. Choose it. It will get you to a command prompt after logging in as the local administator. Issue 'help' at the prompt to make sure I am giving you the right command, but I think the command is 'fixmbr'.

This happened to me, and drove me whacko until i saw the disk and removed it. I am so used to the classic 'no bootable disk' message that I did not think about this as the problem.
