It's weird..the first time I needed to find it I went searching for it too...I had even showed hidden folders. It took me awhile to catch on that you had to uncheck hide protected operating system files...boy are they trying to hide important files this time.

I installed Windows 98 on C: and Windows 2000 on D:, and somehow expected boot.ini to be on D: with Windows 2000 - but it ain't. Look on your first drive/partition.

step 1: stop SHOUTING!
step 2. in win2k open: control panel | Admin Tools |Computer Management select disk management and create a partition from the free space then format it (an unformatted partition doesn't exist for the o/s)
step 3. install nt4 or whatever (you're on your own here though).
