Well, with non 9x versions of windows (aka NT, 2K, and XP) you'll
probably have to restore via the restoration console on the
installation disc actually.  I haven't really found a cleaner way to
do it short of saving the boot data BEFORE messing things up, but,
that's not helpful after.  Anyway, I believe the command name is
BOOTFIX but if that doesn't work, just type help and it should list
all the commands the console supports.  I believe you can even type
help and the name of the command you want more info about to get
syntax information and such.
