c:\Boot.ini
You will need to type that file in by hand and change the disk to the one you need to boot from.
(C) usually equals 0 while (D) is 1.
If you mess up you will have to run chkdsk from a windows disk or some other method and hopefully it will rewrite those boot files for you.
Example from my computer that is booting from (C):
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
I wouldn't copy that unless they happen to be running Pro as well.
EDIT:
You can also check your work in MSConfig:
Start ~ Run ~ MsConfig ~ Tab(Boot.ini) ~ Button(Check all boot paths)
