I guess most of us make this mistake once....

The way I solved it was to boot XP, that still was bootable. After that I inserted my W2K3 CD and (re-)installed the Recovery/Repair console Console via WINNT32.EXE /CmdCons. This reinstalled my W2K3 boot files and I was able to boot into W2K3 again.
Of course a partial installation of W2K3 would also do the trick, but this is way faster, and you don't need to cleanup afterwards. I use the partial reinstall when I haven't got a Windows I can boot to to use the winnt32 executable.

Hope this helps someone
Nice. Never thought of that. Wish I did last time. But now its all good since I just got a retail copy of winxp pro. Saved my donkey yesterday when installing media center 2004.

But yea might try that next time so thanks.
