I have a dual boot system that I am trying to get up and running, but I
cannot get dual boot to work without constantly changing the versions of
ntldr and dtdetect.com in c:\ . I have 33 scsi drives, and the first drive is
divided into 3 volumes, c, f, and z. C and F are NTFS, Z is fat32 (eventually
I may want to load an old operating system there, but for now it is basically
unused or for data storage.
Anyway, win2k is up and running on F, in f:\winnt It has been working for
almost 2 years. When I first set up the system, I tried dual boot with xp
x64, but it stopped working after a while, and I just used it as a win2k
machine. Now, I have reloaded xp x64 into c:\windows. I have dual boot set
up, and it looks correct, but, if the version of ntldr and ntdetect in c:\
are the newer ones supplied with xp x64, then xp x64 boots up fine, but I get
an error message "winnt\system32\config\system missing or corrupt" if I try
to boot win2k. If I replace the ntldr and ntdetect.com in c:\ with the older
versions from win2k sp4, then win2k boots up fine, but I get an error about a
missing or corrupt ntoskrnl.exe file, and I cannot boot xp x64.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
