I have tested all original Longhorns from a hard drive with 4 primary partitions.
1-Boot Files i386 boot.(boot partition).
2-Empty for the installation of the new system.
3-Windows XP x32 NT 5.1
4-Data
I start the installation of the iso from Windows XP.
No bootmgr based version has finished installing on my computer.
I have tried the Shorthorn variant. This does install completely and the interface starts, but after the first reboot the message "ntldr is missing" appears.
I have reviewed the files manually and they all seem correct.
I have tried to recover the bootable boot from the Windows Vista recovery console command line but it does not recognize any Windows installation.
The only way I've had to recover the boot has been from the Windows XP console with the "fixboot" command.
Fortunately, the boot is recovered through boot.ini and Windows Longhorn star.
How can you recover the original boot of Windows Longhorn?
Preferably with command line or manually.
I have not found any program that manages to recover the boot.
EaseUS manages to recover MBR and partition table but does not fix boot.
what does fixboot actually mean?
