Have you tried using the bootcfg command in the Windows XP Recovery
Console to rebuild the boot.ini file?
No.
Where did you get those boot.ini files?
From D1 and D2.
Please explain "drives", do you have two physical hard disks or do you
have 2 partitions on one hard disk?
Drive is a physical, partitons are not.
What caused you to lose dual booting abilties? Did you reinstall one of
the operating systems before this started? Mirrored D2
Which operating system can you now boot to?
w2k
What happens when you boot the computer, are you presented with a boot
menu, or does the computer boot directly to one of the operating systems
directly to W2k
I will try out the all purpose.
Thanks
