Somehow my NTLDR got hosed and I am trying to boot with a CD. I
remember getting it to correctly work before but now cannot get it to
work.

I followed the instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305595
on how to make the floppy. I used WinImage to create boot.ima.

I fired up Nero and made a CD-ROM boot disk, choosing the above .ima.
I used expert settings, the first CD I used no emulation and the
second disk I used 1.44 emulation. Neither one will boot.

I have the following files on my floppy when I image it:
boot.ini
ntldr
ntdetect.com

I have added an additional line in the boot.ini so I will be able to
see the menu if and when the CD boots.

You also need to adjust the number of loaded segment (to 4) and the load
segment.
