thanks for the advice but neither GAG, Grub or FreeBSD bootloaders work for
me it would appear that NTLDR has either been damaged or cannot be found. I
could not get to that installation at all. It is a bit problematic as I
usually only re-install once a year and don't (of course) have a recent
backup that will suffice. I think I will need to install Win2K onto a
different partition and see if I can mount the old Win2K partition to
recover the data before doing the proper full swipe and reload.
Why a whole new installation? Why not just repair the currently installed Win2K? (Boot from your Win2K CD. You can automatically repair or manually "fix" the master boot record and boot sector, which will cause the computer to boot Win2K again. Then you can install GAG, the FreeBSD bootloader or use the Win2K bootloader.
Or is it as simple as forgetting to change the BIOS cback to booting from your hard drive after booting from CD?
If you're still flummoxed, provide more info about your setup and you'll get more help.
