download a knoppix iso and burn it to cd best rescue disk in the known world! No one should be without one.
after downloading boot your computer from the cd, this will give you a live linux distribution (debian based). while booting there are some options and tools which can be found on the cd with "f2". once you are up and running open a terminal and mount your hard drive (possibly /hda1 ) then locate grub or lilo "/boot.ini" file. You will need to use vim or a text editor with admin privaleges to edit. here is an example of a "/boot.ini" file for a dual boot system you will have to determine if this will work for you. [boot loader] timeout=5 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect c:\linux.bin="Linux" just google "dual boot grub or lilo file" for more help or examples. good luck may the penguin always smile upon you!
