Default boot.ini trouble


Hi I have a P4 2.4 Ghz 1GB+256MB RAM !60GB+20GB HDD. I had Win 2000 on my C partition and Win XP on G: (C & D-initially was the 20GB HDD configured Primary master initially) but I changed it to primary slave and 160GB as the primary master using the jumper.

My Win 2000 developed a problem so I was reinstalling it by booting the PC from the CDROM. when I got the screen showing the partitions I chose F:

But after the installation it seems that

Initially Finally
G: is C:
C: D:

F: is E:
J: I:
D: is H:

and DVD drives are I: & J: now (which were initially E: & F

Can u please write the boot.ini file for me considering Win XP Pro on C partition and Win 2000 on F:

Thanks in advance.

Believe me, you're better off backing up your data and reinstalling the OSes without formatting your hard drive.
