Hi There!
I have a brand new PC with two hard drives. The first one
is NTFS with WinXP Pro. When I tried to install Red Ht
Linux in the other hard drive, I start having trouble:
After the installation, the Red Hat Loader (GRUB) allowed
me to choose between Linux OS or WinXP. Then, if i clicked
Linux I have an error like "Cannot write into disk" or
something, and then nothing to do. If I clicked WinXP, it
started loading, but after the first WinXP screen, the PC
just reboot...
At this point, I tried to reinstall Linux, but this time I
did it without a Loader located in a hard drive, I only
made a boot floppy disc. After the install, when the
floppy inserted, Linux started to work properly. When I
reboot without the Linux Floppy, I got to the GRUB
screen, 'cause GRUB was still in the Master Hasrd Drive
(NTFS). Thus, I started WinXP recovery console from the
Install CD and I tried to format the MBR and rewrite it
with commands such Fixboot and Fixmbr. Now, I restart the
PC and after couple WinXp screens I get this message:
autocheck program not found. autochk.exe missing
Or something like that. I restarted again to try on safe
mode, but I've got the same screen, and after that another
one with: c000021a 0xc000003a
(0x00000000 0x000000) Fatal Error
Then I made my last move: I got to Recovery Console again
and I tried to find the autochk.exe file. And it's in the
C:\Windows\system32\ folder, and I guess that's the right
place! I don't understand what's going on! I tried to
execute this programm and it worked! First time it found 1
error, but the boot was the same. The i did it twice and
nothing happened. What can I do? Please, help me, I'm
loosing my patient! I don't want to loose all my data, I
have a 40GB FULL drive, I don't want to format!
Best Regards
