How can I edit BOOT.INI (in dos)

Im trying to get back into my win2k system...

I want to edit an entry in boot.ini, but I cant seem to modify it because its a read only file.

How can I modify it?

I've tried the following commands in c:\ --
attrib -r boot.ini (= Not resetting hidden file C:\BOOT.INI)
attrib -h boot.ini (= Not resetting system file C:\BOOT.INI)
attrib -h -r boot.ini (= Not resetting system file C:\BOOT.INI)

Any ideas?

Thanks
 
attrib -h -r -s boot.ini

You have to have the -s (system) or it won't work.
When done, just do +h +r +s to put it back.
