Boot with a Windows 98 DOS and do this:
D:\I386\WINNT.EXE

Follow instructions. OR, grab Windows XP setup boot disks:

do you have a floppy drive lol?
then you could just grab a bootdisk off www.bootdisk.com
if not id start by trying neo's post

i do but im too lazy to put it in, and none of my other computers have one, and it would take me a while to find a floppy.

i will if i have to though

EDIT
crap its not on megaupload anymore looks like im going to have to pull out the ole floppy drive if all else fails, ill probably just check out a disk from our school and make a boot disk out of it there

A Win98 or DOS with NTFS and the command I stated above and you'll be good.

 

[dude_se]

you can make CD boot disks i think, just google around, depends how lazy you are

 

[root]

you can make a bootable CD in Nero,

but you need a DOS boot disk as a seed image!

surely there has to be a useful ISO of DOS tools somewhere.

Just use this:

Contains what you need, plus a ton of other excellent tools. I guarantee you'll use it again.

i have it but it wont allow me to go into the repair console for windows, since its an OS, it cant boot like it does from DOS
