On my Primary master channel I have a hard drive with three partitions.
First two partitions were
set up as primary partitions to house the operating systems. On the first
partition I have my
'normal' Win XP installation for office use, internet etc. On the second
partition I put my
'Audio optimised' version of XP. This was copied from another old drive on
the same system, via
Drive XML. The system can boot to that old drive just fine, its just that
the drive is a mere 4 Gig and nearly full, so I needed to house it on a
larger drive/partition.
After setting up the main hard drive, I rebuilt my bootloader file using the
Windows XP recovery tool. It picked up the two XP installations and now I
have options on start-up to choose my normal XP or my Audio XP. Its boots to
the normal XP just fin but my Audio XP on the 2nd partition will not boot.
Its starts to, I get the Windows XP logo against a black background and the
moving coloured bar
thingy at the bottom, this goes then I get a light blue screen with the XP
logo and there it
stops. The screen looks like the default XP log on screen where you select
the user, except there
is no welcome to windows and nothing except the Windows XP logo. I can move
the mouse around, so
it hasn't frozen, but I can't get it to continue booting. I have tried
several times to overcome
this, by copying the audio OS direct from the old disc, and copying it from
an image file, but
every time I get the same result.
Any ideas folks?
