Re: dual boot not recognizing second drive

Gregfnor

That's odd. Try by adding this file as boot.ini in the root of your C:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional" /fastdetect
C:\="Microsoft Windows 98"

Next, perform the repair operation again.

Best regards

Bjorn
