Dual Boot Option At Start Up

[Megglers]

Hello.

I am a neewb at this stuff. I created an unat. cd with sp2 slipstreamed and now when i load i get an option to load winxp pro(what i want) or window whistler. If I choose the whistler option tells me there is a problem imediately and needs to be restarted. If I choose the other everything works great. Is there any settings that I'm missing. If somebody could help would be apprieciated.

Sounds like you had some leftover stuff in boot.ini. On the root C: drive, you'll see a file called boot.ini. Right click it and choose properties. Make sure "Read Only" is unchecked then hit OK. Now you can open the file and remove the line pointing to Whister. Once that line is removed, save and close boot.ini. That should take care of it.

If you really do have two Operating systems, you can do the following:

Try booting with your XP CD, then going into the Recovery Console, at the Dos command prompt type, bootcfg /list, this will show you the boot file, then type bootcfg /rebuild.

You should receive a message similar to

Total Identified Windows installs: 2

[1] C:\FirstOS

Add to installation list? (Yes/No/All)

Type Y

A message comes up 'enter load indentifier'

(this is the name of the operating system) so type FirstOS and press enter

Then you're prompted for 'Enter OS Load Options'

Type /fastdetect and press enter

Do the same when prompted for the SecondOS

Type exit then press enter to leave the recovery console.

Your computer should restart and then you should be prompted with

'Please select the operating system to start message'

Obviously adjust FirstOS and SecondOS to suit your actual ones.
