- MS-DOS 6.0 is installed after Windows NT, then you may need to use the
- following procedure to restore the Windows NT Flex Boot Loader.

- To repair the Windows NT boot sector, do the following:

- Installation. (Or Disk 1 - Setup Disk for CD-ROM Installation if
- Windows NT was set up using CD-ROM.)
-
- 2. When prompted for Setup options, press R for Repair.
-
- 3. When prompted to do so, insert the Emergency Repair Disk that was
- originally created for this computer.
-
- 4. Reinsert Disk 1 when prompted. (This is the same disk with which
- you started your system.)
-
- 5. You will see three selections. All three will be selected by
- default. Using the SPACEBAR to select/clear the options, clear the
- selection of all options EXCEPT Verify Boot Files On Your C: Drive.
- This should be the only option that has an "X" in front of it.
-
- 6. Select Continue and press the ENTER key.

- will appear, allowing you to choose between MS-DOS version 6.0 or
