   Nope.

   Still I think you are speaking of something other than the Windows =
2000 boot loader.  The boot loader is located in C:\NTLDR and it does = not
contain the strings you give.  Neither does the boot sector, either = on
the hard disk or the one on the Windows 2000 CD-ROM.  Maybe you mean = the
floppy disk images on the CD-ROM in the \BOOTDISK folder?

  The Win 2000 boot loader.   It may be just a stubbed out MSDOS.
