I have 2 drives with 3 partitions with Win98SE on the
first, and a Ghost copy of a good XPPRO on the second
partition. Then on the 3rd it's an XPPRO Beta.

But on the second partition of the second drive I'm
getting the following error at boot. This partition is a
Ghost copy of the first drives second partition.

Couldn't open drive multi 0 disk 0 rdisk 0 partition 1
NTLDR: Couldn't open drive multi 0 disk 0 rdisk 0
partition 1

I have tried changing the rdisk to 1 and the partition to
2 on this partiton to no avail. I have tried doing a
fixboot, and renaming boot.ini to boot.x and I still get
the same message.

I'm using BootIt NG 1.61e for my Boot manager. I have
used the swap option in BootIt and that didn't work. This
was with boot.ini setup as below.

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft
Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect


Does anyone have any other ideas on what the problem
might be?

Hi,

Much depends on how you have it set up in BING. Open the dialog to work with
the boot entries, look at where that drive is indicated in the MBR when you
edit that boot entry. That should define how your boot.ini entry appears. As
a stand-alone drive with all other partitions hidden, it should boot as
rdisk(0)part(1) - this with the swap option enabled.
