thanks for the replay to my earlier thread. As per advised I changed my boot.ini as follows :- [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\winnt [Operating system] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\winnt="windows server 2000"/fastdetect (it is my primary os and it working when i select it.) multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\winnt="windows XP"/fastdetect (this is the second os in second disk. when is select this there is an error showing that windows 2000 cann't start because the file windows2000 root>system32>ntoskrnl.exe is corrupt and reinstall a copy of this file) I put a new copy of this file also, the same error occured" pl. help me thank and Happy New Year sarowaram
the only mistake I see in your boot.ini file is in the following line "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\winnt="windows XP"/fastdetect" Substitue the word WINDOWS for winnt see if that will fix you up. example below http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;289022
