Hi,
I started out with Windows XP, but decided I also wanted
to have W2K on my computer. So I partitioned my hard drive
and put W2K on my D drive.

But now, when I reboot, it won't let me boot into XP.
Something about a registry error. Can anyone help???

Thanks,
Paul

You most likley changed the loader on the machine to Windows 2000. Copy
NTLDR and ntdetect.com to the root of the C drive and see if the machine
boots.
