Multiboot startup issues NT/XP Pro

Guest

Hello, I run NT and XP Pro on separate partitions on the same PC and recently
experienced startup problems with NT, which then requested the Emergency
Repair Disk. After NT booted up OK and all errors corrected, I then went to
restart with XP and had probs, startup keeps using 'NTDETECT' and giving an
error message and will not start up XP. What can I do repair the XP startup
functionalities ?

Hi,

During the repairs, you overwrote ntldr and ntdetect.com with earlier
versions that do not recognize WinXP. Overwrite them with the versions found
in I386 folder on the WinXP CD.
