Hello all,
I used to have a dual boot system running 98 and XP Prof. The 98 Drive
failed and took with it the boot.ini file. Using a boot floppy, I'm able to
boot the XP partition, but I can't seem to set the the boot.ini file to
recognize on it's own. Right now, XP is on a hard drive on the first
partition (E with two other partitions (F and (G. I also have another
physical hard drive which is (C, but it's only for data storage.
Here's is the current boot.ini text I have:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect
I've tried the repair option with the Windows XP CD, but kept getting an
error after entering the "/fastdetect" setting when rebuilding through
bootcfg.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to look
at this one with me,
Mike
