| 274081 | 2004-09-20 08:09:00 | Ive just setup a PC with WinXP (Was Win98 but they purchased WinXP Home OEM), only its been coming up with: Couldn't open drive multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) NTLDR: Couldn't open drive multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) Only I hit Enter and it resets, goes through the POST again, and loads WinXP fine?! Any ideas? Cheers Chill. |

| 274087 | 2004-09-20 08:47:00 | Drill out the rivets, replace with screws (small 5 or 6g self tapers if necessary). So, your not getting NTLDR is missing amongst that lot? Once in boot from floppy and fixmbr or fdiskmbr, once in edit the boot.ini. Why will it not boot from the CD CD, mobo or Bios too old? kinda dangerous having XP without a bootable CD.

| 274089 | 2004-09-20 08:53:00 | you may have to edit the boot.ini to something like this: Note the "\WINDOWS" after the partition number Of course the partition number may differ depending on how many you have & which one XP is on [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect |
