DrHoang Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) Hi stasys44,I didn't test SysXPfat or bootpart in C( NTFS) to create a MS-DOS for my XP.If your C partition has formatted only in NTFS, I think you better reserved a small place in C formatted in FAT 16 reserved of rescue by XPE or DOS. That didn't cause any crash for your PC . In the contrary, my C partition is already formatted in FAT 32( 9GB ) and worked well with SysXPfat.But in case of failure with SysXPfat, you could also try that command line fixboot C: ( in Recovery Console, or choose to repair in XPCD install ) . You also reboot to XP easily with dual menu boot.Dr Hoang Edited August 31, 2005 by DrHoang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 In the contrary, my C partition is already formatted in FAT 32( 9GB ) and worked well with SysXPfat.Well, that could account for the bootpart.exe not working for you.You could try again using the "LBA" switch, if I am not mistaken, the limit of CHS addressing is 8 Gb.By the way, Gilles Vollant has released new version 2.60, with executables compiled for 64 bit processors and support for Vista new bootmanager (BootMGR instead of NTLDR):http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htmjaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stasys44 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I have tested sysxpfat (and bootpart, when i could not get dual boot) in FAT 32 partition (8.057GB)2. But the best way to have two partitions:FAT32 for OS and Program FilesNTFS for dataNow my OS partition takes 8 GBI can recover files in my corrupted partition - all files - by Easy Recovery, it's trully easy to understand and easy to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
