What was the original prob with NT?
What is your system?

IIRC, this is a media issue. Meaning you've either got (a) too large a
boot drive for NT4 (less than SP6, which if you did a repair, you are
on no service pack), or (b) some of your files are conflicting
versions, which also relates to service packs.

Yeah, that's typical of a service pack issue. Tell me - did you put
your OS on one partition and your data on anohter?

Do this - load that system to the same service pack level as your
corrupted system. Create a boot floppy (there are ways to do this even
with NTFS, if you didn't use FAT as your boot partition file system -
use google.)

I hear you - I'm on NT 5 right now. I doubt there's a problem with the
boot loader, though I'd suggest a look at how your system is
configured.
HTH!!
