What i do when i get NT4 jacked up like that is boot into win98 and delete the file that the colorful screen says is making the blue. I boot into NT4 when that happens to remedy Win2k. But then again i have them on primaries and use ntfs and need bootmagic to see the partitions. In short find some way to delete the file(s) in question.

ok here's the deal!
i have 2 partitions! C and D, win98se is on C: and it is a fat32 partition, on D: is windows 2000 and is a NTFS partition, dos must use either fat16 or fat32, I did that before with the delete the files that is making win2k crash, and it worked, but i cant access D: no matter what i try unless im in win2000 itself, changing D: to fat32 would definitely help, i'll that. then i can see both partitions, how would i make dos NTFS ? can anyone send me their boot.ini from their boot drive? it is hidden.
 
i tried the pqmagic and it tell me that drive 1 is bad, everything is disabled. it is version 4.102 and its on a floppy.
