Hey everybody,
I tried this and it doesn't work. I copied all three files into the root directory of my new drive by booting it up as an external drive. But when I tried to use it as my internal drive it didn't work. I thought it might be because it had the wrong letter for booting. So then I tried booting up with my windows 2000 disks, repairing the installation and trying to reboot. Still said, "NTLDR is missing." I tried repairing it twice, then re-installing Windows 2000. Still didn't work. Now I am wiping the new drive clean and will re-install Windows 2000 entirely. I may give up soon.
Ug. Windows. Microsoft.
