You know the menu that appears when windows takes a dump when it trys and loads windows and didn't complete the boot. Does anyone know where the file is so I can add a line called "Boot RedHat Linux 7.1" as the last option and addin my loadin command?

I am planing on writting a simple NHF on it.

The highly popular safe mode menu. Sorry as I don't know where it resides. Could you do a file search looking for file contents?

I think they're hard coded into ntldr.

Do a "tail -c 1200 ntldr" in win2k and it's all there.

The menu I seek is in win98 and by editing the msdos.cfg file I added in some menu options. Is there a way to 'cat' and some grep and search for files that carry some of the commands it displays in windows.

I find it funny how I have to explain it via *nix's terminalogy.
