Hi,
I've added a new drive and changed the partition configuration on a
multiboot system. As a result, WinXP became unbootable. After study of the
problem, I've used recovery console to fix various problems including
boot.ini using bootcfg options. It is a learning process. I've come to the
point where I think I've done everything correctly. At this point, I have
only one partition, and one OS, WinXP on its original drive. I have the
administrator's password. Everything looks OK. Since there is only one OS,
the boot process boots directly and fast. There is a screen with a scrolling
bit display, then the screen flashes and displays a light blue screen with
dark blue bands top and bottom. In the middle of the light blue screen is
the MS logo and "Microsoft Windows XP". It looks good but it seems to have
locked my out. It does not give me an logon screen. I can't logon as
administrator or user. What do I need to do? Thanks.
