Dual-boot 2000 and XP Pro
Recently installed two new hard drives on same PC.
Installed Win 2000 on C drive and it booted up fine. Installed Win XP on (default drive) F Drive and it booted up fine. But Win 2000 no longer boots, and the PC does not see it, although all Win 2000 files are visible on Drive C. I dual-booted these two OS for two years without a hitch. Why won't it work now? Is this a MBR issue? If so how can I get each OS to boot? |
