Restore by image from hidden partition !

[bele]

Hi guys!

I've made a image of my computer with Norton Ghost (partition to image) and a FAT32 partition (done a sys D:) Ive added the

partition to boot.ini like this:

[boot loader]

timeout=5

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /Execute

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\AUTOEXEC.BAT="AUTO RESTORE"

OR

[boot loader]

timeout=5

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /Execute

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WIN95DOS="AUTO RESTORE"

BUT, i cant boot on the fat32 partition, i get a error about missing <system root>\WINDOWS\system32\ hal.dll

I also tried this boot.ini

[boot loader]

timeout=5

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /Execute

D:\="MS-DOS"

then computer just restarts!

I tried to convert the primary partition to FAT32 and do a sys C: then i boot DOS with out trouble! :-)

I need help ? Do i miss some parameters on the boot.ini string ?

Is it even possible to boot dos from win xp bootloader ? Do i need a thirdparty bootloader ?

No, unfortunately you miss some studying and learning, see here:

These Boot.ini entries are "pure nonsense":

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\AUTOEXEC.BAT

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WIN95DOS

D:\="MS-DOS"
