Strange those people who have everything at there disposal and still
don't see the solution... ;-)

      * You have two computers, one is broken, the other has an Internet
        connection.
      * You may or may not have a floppy drive.
      * You can connect to the net, download a rescue floppy (or even an
        install set), boot the broken machine, fix it and smile.
      * If you are adventurous, you could also download a (small) linux
        CD image and burn one, then boot the broken machine with that.
      * You could also download a windows-boot-linux installer
        (loadlin.exe etc.), add the broken computers hdd to the working
        computer, start the installer, escape to the shell and fix the
        broken drive.
      * You could also boot the broken machine off a tftp image.

My point is this: "You have all the tools, one working computer, one
Internet connection and skill - the only missing ingredient is
experience, but that's what this list is for..."

..Now I'll get back in my box..
