INstalled Win98SE on C: Drive..........WinXp on D: Drive...........
Reinstalled Win98SE........Therefore The dual boot option is Gone.
How to Bring this Dual boot option back without Reinstalling WinXp.
simple... boot with XP disc, enter recovery console, run the fixboot command and you are done...
boot from xp cd. go to repair mode... and then .... command fixboot
u can fixboot or just make a new boot.ini file and replace it with the existing one....but 'fixboot' is lot more easy and safe....
what is the difference between "fixboot" and "fixmbr"?
i tried what u people said but that's not working.
something else pls.
Yes if you format C: drive , XP files boot.ini will be gone!! Now the only option is to
reinstall XP since the formatting C drive has deleted the XP files, and it's boot loader which was stored in the MBR.
Ok. Do as follows:
first make all hidden files nd system files visible.(to do so open my computer/tools/folder options/view/and check boxes
show hidden files nd folders
and uncheck: hide protected operating system files
apply ok
hope u got only one hdd
go to c: nd locate the file boot.ini nd open it
just below the line:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft windows"......(somethin)
add the line exactly as follows or copy paste it:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="My Windows XP Pro" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
