After repairing w2k (blue screen CDFS.SYS) on my primary disk C: with the
original setup CD , XP stopped loading on my secundary disk D.
Now XP doesn't start.
On selecting XP from boot.ini options a message comes as if w2k is being
booted, and then a blue blank freezes.
"windows 2000 (???) cannot be started for file
windows/system32/config/system is missing or corrupt"
I know the workaround to copy Ntldr and NTDETECT.COM from XP, in the root
directory from the C: disk, when i will restart in xp after working in W2K.
Vice versa when I will restart in W2K leaving the Windows Xp envirionnement,
I have to copy the W2K versions. It's annoying to change every time.
Please Help

Try using the Recovery Console and repairing the Boot.ini file. You
will be interested in the Bootcfg /rebuild command
