boot.ini: how do i change this from hidden a file type?

[LastWords]

Hello,

I have been trying to install Windows 2000 server from a boot disk i have just created. The disk now seems to work fine, the new problem lies in a error message I receive after the boot disk has loaded. It says &quot;Windows 2000 could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows 2000 root>\System32\ Ntoskrnl.exe.&quot;
I have read the article at Microsoft Knowledge Base
(

gn_SRCH&SPR=WIN2000)

surrounding this problem with earlier versions of windows (NT). I have tried this solution but after completing the line of DOS code it asks for you to perform (Attrib -S -R C:\Boot.ini), it comes back with...oh yes... another error message, this time saying &quot;cant reset hidden file&quot;. How can I change this file from being hidden? It doesn't seem to let my change it in W2k or in the Command Prompt.

Thanks in advance.

At the command prompt type ATTRIB -H BOOT.INI
