Your windows installation disk...to get you started.... A file recovery disk might let you restore it....

The only way to recover is to boot on the windows disk and start the recovery console. You can read more details here. “click (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330184)me”

Or write one and drop it in there...

In Notepad, you write a simple text file.. and save it as boot.ini

Here's what mine looks like


[boot loader]
timeout=15
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional x64 Edition" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
onstop=load "missile launch sequence end of world scenario"
/execute=all human race




A normal one with the OS on C: will look more like this;

[boot loader]
timeout=15
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin/fastdetect


and that's all ther is to it! If your using "home edition that last line looks like this;
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin/fastdetect
