| 84913 | 2002-10-01 04:26:00 | Hi there, I had my PC setup as a dual-boot between W98SE & W2000, everything was working fine. My W98 got corrupted & I was prompted to reinstall W98. So when I did, NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM & BOOT.INI then got written over (in C my question is what is the best way to get those files back into C: & pointing to my D: partition allowing me to boot into W2000? Would inserting the 2000 cd & selecting repair a failed installation, ER process do the trick. I have some files in my W2000 installation & don't want to lose them! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.Thanks. | quackle (2097) | ||
| 84914 | 2002-10-01 04:29:00 | Yeah, Reboot off of the CD, and select Repair, that should do the trick. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

| 84916 | 2002-10-01 05:42:00 | You could reboot off the CD and choose Recovery Console. If you type Help there you should see a command FixFBR or something like that. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 84917 | 2002-10-01 06:05:00 | Yes but does the 'repair' kill the existing installed files? In fact my 'recovery' disk doesn't even give me the 'repair' option only 'format' hard drive'..... don't really know how I am supposed to recover. |

| 84918 | 2002-10-01 08:42:00 | Recovery disk I reckon are bad news because all they do is set the system up to the way you received it so you need to make a backup of all the downloaded drivers and data before using it. When ever buying a PC try to get the full installation disks. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
