Hi, I have now started the repair consol and wrote map arc 1 C:\ 240gb blabla 2 D:\ Usb stick 3 E:\ Integrated Cdrom (dont working, I cant disable it in bios) Now everthing is fixed, the solution was: put the **** thing on the ground and jumped 3 times and bye a new one.

Hi, I have tried put 5 diffrent boot.ini in the root of usb stick. I also start txt mode to get in to Repair consol, used the "copy X:\boot.ini C:\boot.ini" and overwrite the old one on C: Afther I did that I Booted up with USB-Stick, chose 2:an options in grub4dos but I just get a list of Windows xp modes but no one will take me to gui install. it just hangs, I can start the txt mode with no problem but the second part just doesnt work.

hi Thanks for the reply, my old orginal disk in this laptop crashed, so this is a new 250gb disk. I re-checked the first txt install 238473 MB Hdd 0 on Id 0 on Buss 0 on Atapi [MBR] C: Partition1 [NTFS] 238465 MB (237913 MB Free) Unpartitioned space 8MB After that its just my USB memory.. The grub4dos för the second part (gui) I checked the edit section root (hd0,0) Chainloader (hd0,0)/ntldr Savedefault in my opinion this should look like this insted or am I wrong?: root (hd1,0) Chainloader (hd1,0) /ntldr Savedefault maby that doesent mean anything but I changed my boot.ini file copyed it to c:\ and overwrite the old one, the only diffrent was that I put in an extra line like this: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Boot Test Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
