dual boot working fine.had to restore first os.now it willnot dual boot.don`t want to restore second os.thanks for any help.
Boot from your Windows XP cd and press R to enter recovery-mode
Then folow the steps.
You can fix your boot.ini with the command
bootcfg /rebuild and folow the steps again.
If you'll tell us what drive letters your operating systems are on, we'll provide you with the MBR. We need to know how many physical drives you have and how many partitions on each one along with the drives you have an OS on. For example. 1) 2 physical hdd's (will say a 20gb and a 60gb) 2) partitioned as C: (with an OS), D: (with an OS), E: (app's), F: (storage). 3) drive D: is on the second physical hdd along with E: and F: ****thats just an example***** Now, if you'll go to "my computer" and click on C:\, with your files unhidden you will be able to see and open boot.ini (right click on it and choose to "Open With..") and open it with Notepad BUT MAKE SURE you have the "always use the selected program to open these types of files" UNCHECKED… When it opens.. highlight it and copy and paste it here along with your other info and we'll get you fixed up.
