Dual Boot problem - keeps rebooting, and restart the FBA

[Cato Svellingen]

Hi,

got two partitions,

C: with win2000
and
O: with XPe

In target designer I have set the target device settings all to Drive O:\,

but still, the machine reboots. The FBA log says the path O:\windows should
be D:\WINDOWS, but I do not know why it thinks this.
( 11:27:23 AM - [FBAFixWindowsPathsInRegistry] Incorrect WinDir:
[O:\WINDOWS] should be [D:\WINDOWS] )

boot.ini has
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XPe "
/fastdetect

Any suggestions ?

Cheers

Cato

It should be d:. It doesn't matter what your windows 2000 thinks the
drive is at the moment. If you did a fresh install of the OS, it would
see that second partition as d:, so that's what it needs to be.

Use D: like Heidi said.
Or if you want to make it seen as C: then read:
