Instead of just the fixntldr.exe, use the fixntldr-winnt.exe file if your system is NT4, or 2000, or was upgraded from a previous installation of NT4 or 2000. If you named your windows directory something like “shinyhappypeople” then open the boot.ini file and change any mention of “windows” to “shinyhappypeople” like so: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\shinyhappypeople=”1ST TRY THIS” Save changes, and put the disk back in and continue on trying the 10 choices.
