BOOT.INI deleted. How to re-create this file?

During the booting my computer tells me:

Invalid BOOT.INI file
Booting from C:\WINNT\

At the end My Windows system booted successfully. But I want to get rid of this message.
Currently there is no BOOT.INI in the root directory of my boot partition C:\

So how can I recreate such a BOOT.INI file?

From another Win2000 system (with similar configuration) I retrieved the following boot.ini file:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
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

Can I just create a new file and copy/paste the text above into this new file?

I have two partitions:
C: Boot partition
D: Data partition

Is there possibly a tool which analyzes my partitions and does the job for me?

Do BOOT.INIs for Win2000 and for WinXP have the same structure?

Sven:

Perhaps this utility may help you. It allows you to modify windows boot
loaderwhen you have more than one OS and still want to use the windows
loader. Read instructions carefully before using it.
