Thanks guys. One thing about my system is that the floppy drive seems
to have gone out a couple years back, and I just never really needed it
for anything. I can get to a command prompt using the windows 2000
install CD though -- all the files seem to be there, and in tact,
including the NTLDR file which it says is missing.
I'll let you know if I need and can use a boot image.
