Hi,
I'm new to Win2k Pro. Got an old Tecra 8000 working which has Win2k installed.
I have no win2k disk. I used partition magic 8 to copy/hide the partition to
the end of the drive so I could install win98se. When I copy win2k back to the
start of the drive and delete Win98se it fails boot with "invalid boot.ini"
message. How do I reset/repair it? Currently looks like this.

[boot loader]
timeout=0
default=C:\
[operating systems]
[operating systems]


thanks
