Steveo87 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I just installed Win XP x64 and I won’t to install Win XP Pro. Also I have 3 hard drives I use the 3rd one for my back up’s and downloads my 1ST one is for Win XP x64 and my 2nd one is for Win XP Pro. I got Win XP x64 bit installed and when I try to install Win XP Pro. I get an error “windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe please re-install of the above file” and I tried re-install Win it but it come up with the same error. I only get half way done with installing Win XP Pro. (Like it just finishing the DOS part of it) and when after it reboots an error come up. I don’t know what’s wrong LoL it could be I have to install Win XP Pro. 1st but I don’t won’t to redo Win XP x64 again unless I have too. Thanks for your help If u wont to see my boot code:If u wont to see my boot code:[boot loader]timeout=5default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS[operating systems]multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional x64 Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetectmulti(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(0)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjc Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional x64 Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetectmulti(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(0)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetectMy guess is that one is trying to load the other's windows folder. This can happen if the different installs handle the disk numbering in different ways.Suggestion? Install XP pro first and then XP x64, and you should be alright.
