causing a win2k boot failure

[Kilo Bravo]

I am teaching a windows 2k class, I need a way of causing windows 2k to fail to boot that can be cured with the ERD.

Any ideas?

alter the boot.ini
after first saving a copy of it to a floppy
then just copy the boot.ini back to it's original location.

Delete the hidden file c:\ntldr.

how do I make the NTLDR file visible? I already have the option to show hidden files set.
Delete the hidden file c:\ntldr.

attrib -s -h -r c:\ntldr

If you teach Win2000 at a maintenance level then I strongly
recommend you teach them some basic command line
commands as well. GUIs are for users, not for administrators!
