That's odd. The file is in the root or you create a new one:
 

Quote:[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect

If you dont want to write a new one, you can simply go into Win2k setup, go into the "repair" part, then "inspect boot environment" and "repair boot sector" (or whatever they say)... this will clean up all booting problems and should take care of your boot.ini problem too.
