At first, I didn't have /dev/hda4 partition, and tried to make ntloader invoke lilo by copying /dev/hda2 boot sector into W2K's root

"OS/2 unable to boot" - Resolved. It's FP14 FDISK!
There's no boot.ini but boot._ file under /i386. The file is binary anyway. What do you think? The question is weird. The boot._ file does not expand to boot.ini, it does in fact not at all expand with expand.exe. To me it looks as something other than a compressed boot.ini file. It is not applicable to want to
