I have been running a dual boot between Win2k & WinXp for quite some time
now. I first installed Win2k on the D:\ drive then WinXP on the C:\
When I boot up the system, I get a boot menu (boot.ini) to choose which OS I
want to launch..
All was well with this setup.. Until...I had to re-install Win2k using the
'Repair' option. Now Win2k works fine..
But when I try to launch WinXP I get this screen:
"For Troubleshooting and advanced startup options for Windows 2000 press F8"
(This used to be a WinXP Screen)
Then I get this error message:
Windows 2000 could not start because the following file is missing or
corrupt:
\windows\system32\config\systemd
Startup options of windows 2000 press F8
I've tried booting the system with the WinXP CD and going to the repair
console, and running the 'FIXBOOT' & 'FIXMBR' commands and I still get the
same error messages.
Is there a way to repair WinXP without having to re-install it?
Please Help!!
