Problem in Dual booting with XP + Server 2003

[Praveen Verma]

Hi,
My system is not able to detect the Server 2003 on my PC.
ok situation is this :
--------------------------
2 days back i have XP+Server 2003 on my PC. Was working fine and
perfectly. XP was in C:\ and 2003 was in D:\
Yesterday i got some problem in XP, so i reinstalled XP in C:\.

Now at the booting time it was showing only option for Windows XP, so
i edited the boot.ini by going "System Properties->Advance->Recovery".

Now i am getting the boot option for server 2003. But when i am
choosing server 2003 from booting option, it is not starting.

Is there any other setting i should do or i have to again install
2003.

Please help.

Thanks in Advance.

When you reinstalled Windows XP it replaced the Server 2003 version of
the files ntldr & ntdetect.com with its (XP) versions. Those files are
not aware of Server 2003 and they cannot boot it. Replace these hidden
system files with the ones from the i386 folder on the Server 2003 CD
and you will be able to boot both operating systems.
