Dual Boot Problem

Chuppa · 30th August 2002, 2:00 PM

I have a Laptop here, that Dual-Boots Windows2k and WinXP.

Anyways, the Win2k Partition <which is the C: Partition> had to be reghosted, because of a major problem with it.

After that, of couse, the System doesnt know about the WinXP partition because the startup information was on the C: Drive, which was reimaged.

How can i add the WinXP partition info into the Starup menu, so i get both options, without having to reinstall XP ?

or you could put your xp cd in, and goto the repair console and use fixmbr, and fixboot, and it all back to normal dual booting xp and 2k
