HELP: "paging file gone or too small, can't boot to win2k"

I can't get windows 2000 to let me logon as any user (including administrator). It says my paging file is non existent or is too small. It's nice enough to tell me how to fix the problem but it won't let me logon. I've tried safe mode, boot logging mode, debugging mode all with the same results. WIN2k tells me to right click my computer, select advanced and then set the size of the paging file. Of course I can't do this if I can't get to a desktop.

Here's what I did just prior to this hapenning: I have two swapable drives. I left my boot drive alone and added a slave hard drive, like I've done hundreds of times w/o incident. This last time it recognized a new device which turned out to be the hard drive. Several days ago I loaded the latest VIA 4in1 drivers and an IDE miniport driver. The miniport driver slowed my hard drive down so I uninstalled it, but left the latest 4in1 drivers on. I don't know if that has anything to do with it recognizing a new drive when I added in the slave drive just now.

Can anyone help?

Is there any way to create or change the paging file from a bootable floppy or bootable CDROM?

Thanks,
Chuck
