By mistake someone marked the D drive on my NT 4.0 server as the boot partition instead of C. Unfortunately there is a problem with the D partition. Is there a backdoor to get in so I don't lose all my data and change the active partition back to C

Edit boot.ini, you will have to change the atributes from read only, to point to the partion or disk with the system files.i.e.
[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Server Version 4.00"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Server Version 4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos
