Reply: There is a much better solution:
using your favourite sector editor, change in BootManager's first
sector
1) sectors/cluster, number of FATs, number of root dir entries,
sectors/FAT to zero
2) reserved sectors to 32
3) format signature to BOOTMGR
With these changes Win2k will no longer touch the BootManager in any
way.
