Leon2003 Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Hi, I recently formatted my hardisk into 3 partitions. I clean installed Windows 2000 in C:, then on D:, I restored my Windows XP with ghost image. After restoring, I couldn't boot my Windows XP Pro. How do I fix the problem? I tried to fix my boot.ini, but I couln't get it work.Thanks in advance.my boot.ini [boot loader]timeout=5default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT[operating systems]multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetectmulti(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datalore Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I'm not sure, but if you had XP on C: then restored it to D:, then you just messed things up. I think Ghost partitions are supposed to be put back in the same sized partition.If you did everything correctly, then try booting off of a Windows XP CD and entering the recovery console. Type "bootcfg /rebuild" and it will hopefully detect the correct settings to allow you to load Windows XP. Also try "bootfix D:" to try to repair the booting of the partition.Good luck.

gamehead200 Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Change your timeout to 30 seconds that way you have enough time to pick what you want to boot from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
