I get this error everytime I try to send email with Outlook Express: An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'mail.centennialpr.net', Server: 'mail.centennialpr.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 Too many invalid recipients', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC69 Can somebody help me please?

I have a multy boot system and all of the sudden I'm not able to boot from one of the Operating systems. I got the following error message: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe. Please reinstall a copy of the above file. Any idea on how can I solve this? Any help will be very appreciated.

Thanks everybody for your replies. I finally got it to work. Now my boot.ini looks like this: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional x64 Edition" /fastdetect As you can see, the IDE connector and the SATA connectors are both in the same controller. I hope this post have been useful not just for me, but for everybody with the same problem. This is a great community with very helpful members and I plan to continue to support it. So long from Puerto Rico.

Thanks everybody for your replies. Avast is the freeware AV software I'm already using and I also liked it so far. Now I have a more clear idea on how to add some lines for testing. But there is something that is not completely clear. How can I identify in wich controller my second disk is?

Thanks everybody for your replys. I really need this to work because the antivirus software that I have is not compatible with a 64 bit operating system and my computer is actually booting from it (64 bit OS). I had to install a freeware antivirus untill I'm able to install the real thing. SO I'm not completely protected until this works. I plan to boot from 32 bit OS when I have to scan the computer for viruses. As for the boot.ini file it looks like this: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional x64 Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect How can I identify the controller? I'll give you more information to see if it is enough to be able to identify the controller. If it is not enough tell me where to look and I'll do my best to give it to you. I forgot to mention that my motherboard has four SATA connectors and only one IDE connector. C: is connected in the IDE connector as master along with my DVD writer as slave. D: is connected in the first SATA connector. The device list in my motherboard bios looks like this: IDE Channel 0 Master 250 GB HD (Letter C:) IDE Master (actually booting from it) IDE Channel 0 Slave DVD Writer (Letter E:) IDE Slave IDE Channel 2 Master 500 GB HD (Letter D:) Sata 0 (Would like to make it bootable along with C:) IDE Channel 2 Slave [None] Sata 1 IDE Channel 3 Master [None] Sata 2 IDE Channel 3 Slave [None] Sata 3 I hope this is enough information in order to identify the controller, drive and partition and be able to edit the boot.ini file acordingly. Thanks in advance.

Thanks both for the reply, you have been very helpful. I already learned how to find and edit the boot.ini file. But, are you sure that those are the exact changes that need to be made. I can be wrong but, I suspect that the changes you described, apply when both operating systems are installed in the same drive but in different partitions. I think that the drive letter needs to be specified somehow. Can anybody point me in the right direction.

I'm a newbie to computers so I don't understand some of the things you're saying. Let me give more details about how the system is configured so people will be able to help me. Both drives and operating systems are already installed. Win XP PRO 32 bit on D, Win XP PRO X64 (actually booting from that disk) on C. I even configured the motherboard bios to give boot priority to D, but the system stills booted from C. Then I removed C drive leaving the motherboard configuration intact and the system didn't boot. I don't know what the boot.ini file is or where to find it. What I really know is that *.ini files can be adjusted with notepad. I assume that boot.ini file can be adjusted to show windows that there are two different drives installed, both with diffent operating systems and give me the choice too boot from any of the two drives and operating systems installed. If that's true, can anyone tell me where to find the boot.ini file, how to change it (in detail) so I'm able to do what I intend to do, or if there is a program to do it automatically?

How can I setup such a configuration?
