ATTRIB PROB

[DEUS]

I have a bit of a problem I have crashed my win xp and can only acess it with a boot disk and then mount the ntfs.  But I can't un attrib the +r on the boot.ini and ntkernel file.  And using everything else hangs up the system.  I can't even use the xp restore on cd or ntfsdos write ver.  Do you think it can be un attribed or even deleted with linux?  I need help please respond.
