Again possible, but I think the partition was corrupted as I have managed to get Windows 2000 to boot by recreating a bootable NT partition. It booted up to the point that the HAL file couldn't work with the hardware. It's possible the image of the disk became corrupt somehow before CHDing it (or possibly bad disk to start with).
EDIT: I suppose a re-image can either proove or disproove my theory..
