Hey all...
Okay I feel like a freaking bonehead, BUT I got some misinformation on dualbooting my system. I was not informed that one should install 2000 server BEFORE XP pro. My system originally had XP Pro on it alone.
So. I installed 2000 server to make a dualboot, onto the slave drive, and kept XP Pro on the Master. I thought that this would keep things nice and seperate, so my XP would not become corrupted.
I built a new system and took that slave drive out of my original system and placed it in the new one... going to reformat and reinstall server 2000 anyway (it has only been installed for a couple of days). Now on my original machine, it will NOT allow me to access XP. I know that I need to get in and alter the boot.ini file, that's understood, however I cannot even select XP at the boot menu.
When I do, it gives me an error about 2000 sever, stating that I need to use the repair ool on the disc.
What the hell???
Is my XP fubared now? What can I do to get this baby back up and running?
Thanks!!
