ripken204 Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 most of u know that i am beta testing xp gamers edition. well i was in ge and with acronis parition expert i changed the size of my partions, which worked. but now when i go to get into my x64 windows it will get to the login box, i type in my password and then nothing happens for a minute when the login box pops back up. so i type in my password again and the box immedietly pops back up.i tried the last good configuration and same thing happenedi tried safe mode and the only difference is that there wasnt that first minute of waitingi can access my files thru ge but i have no clue why i cant get into my x64?
gdogg Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) did u not activate, and the date changed?cause thats what happens to me in that caseif you think this is the case, your gonna need a patched winlogon which will get you back in. Edited March 26, 2006 by gdogg
ripken204 Posted March 26, 2006 Author Posted March 26, 2006 and i used my xpcd to go into the recovery console, my partition for x64 changed from g: to f:so how do i go about chaging the drive letter in the recvoery console?gdogg-wouldnt it give me an error of some sort of notice? i also installed this on march 11th
gdogg Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 yah, it would depend on whether or not, you have oobe left in windows.also, you found the problem, basically, move that windows to the partition letter it was before, or it will not bootcause program files, is in the wrong spot, common program files is in the wrong spot etc.
ripken204 Posted March 26, 2006 Author Posted March 26, 2006 how do i change it tho? changing it with acronis partition expert only changes it in windows. my xpcd still recognizes it as f:
ripken204 Posted March 27, 2006 Author Posted March 27, 2006 well i now have it back to g: but it is still messed up
gdogg Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) ok, how is it messed up? you pointed to it with the boot.ini?if so, then it should work without a hitch, personally I do this all the time, when its on the same hardware, just copy the entire example . g drive to f drive (where f:\ was the origional driver letter)connect to it with boot.ini and its like i ghosted it lol.
