Unhappy Ooopsie

I done a BAAAAAD thing!

I accidentally hosed my boot.ini file trying to restore my multiboot after reformatting C:\ and installing WinXP Pro. Now I can't get back in to fix it.

No rescue disk (that'll teach me) and it won't boot from the CDROM.

My only chance right now as I see it is to redo another computer and install WinXP Pro on THAT, then make a rescue disk and then get into mine to fix the boot.ini. How to fix the multiboot thing, I have no idea yet. Now I'm afraid to jack with the system files!

Anyone know what the boot.ini should look like for a WinXP Pro/Mandrake Linux multiboot?

Brian
