Need Help to fix boot.ini:

I had w98 as C:, win2000 as D:, and XPpro as E:............

I removed the troubled HD that w98 was on and now win2000 is C: and the old partition D: of XP is setting there in (what's now) D:

I can boot up win2000 after fixing the boot.ini BUT i can't seem to get the D: drive to boot (where XP is setting).

Some suggestions Please!!

Thx

Welcome to Windows Help

The multiple boot routine was stored on the master boot record (MBR) of the original drive c: Obviously when you removed the original c:, the ability to select your boot O/S went with it. I don't know if reinstalling (over itself) the O/S on what now is d: will reinstall the multible boot routine.
I'm pretty sure completely reinstalling whatever is on d: will reinstate the multiple boot, but there should be another way.
A third party program, such as System Commander will allow you put everything right without reinstalling too much.

Sorry - not too much help here - but Welcome anyway....

 

Thanks for the quick responce but I have tried that and PM7 and nothing has worked yet.......i guess thats why I needed more info as to the furture of it.
