I have a hard disk, on which both Windows 2000 and Linux were installed.
The Windows 2000 installation suffers from the "MISSING_BOOT_DEVICE"
problem (which manifests itself as a BSOD at boot time), due to emergency
hardware upgrade (the motherboard died and was replaced by a much more
modern one).
The Linux installation survived the upgrade intact.
After some googling, I found that to cure the "MISSING_BOOT_DEVICE"
problem, one has to copy certain files to \winnt\system32\drivers
directory, and register them in the Registry. The usual procedure for
accomplishing the above is to move the hard disk to a PC with a working
version of the original motherboard, boot there, copy the files, edit the
Registry. Then move back to the repaired PC and reboot there.
I managed to copy the relevant files. However, without access to another
PC for rebooting, I cannot accomplish the registration process.
If there is any tool running under Linux, which can fiddle with the
Windows 2000 Registry, it may solve my problem. Otherwise, I'll have to
ask a friend for a pretty big favor.

There is no IGLU Cabal. Too many people have defiled themselves by using
Windows 2000.
