Then your boot.ini should look like this:
 
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
 
 
You also need the following files in the root of your c:
 
ntldr
ntdetect.com
 
Good luck.
 
/Toby
 
edit: wrong spelling of filename..

It's always fun to help someone who takes Win9x/ME and throw it away
