Jeff, I don't follow. You say you lost the file right? Could you rephrase what you mean here: From NTLDR any operating system can be loaded and successfully installed as long as a copy of the operating systems boot sector program resides in a file pointed to by BOOT.INI (more about BOOT.INI later). or are you just starting what you know thus far? In case of file missing try this: 1. Boot up with a Win98 Boot Disk or another DOS Boot Disk. Make sure to load CD-ROM drivers. If a Win98 Boot Disk then this will not be a problem. Assuming you have used FAT instead of NTFS. If you have used NTFS then you will need to get a program called NTFSDOS. More on that later if that is the case. 2. In the i386 directory of the CD-ROM there will be a file NTLDR._, which is the compressed version of NTLDR. You can expand this file using expand.exe that comes with DOS and Windows for Workgroups expand d:\i386\ntldr._ a:\ntldr. 3. Copy file back over from disk to c:\ once extracted. If you are using NTFS then the NTFSDOS program will allow you to see the NTFS from the DOS side. -Brian-
