can't boot into previous OS
Hi,
My original hard drive contain 3 partitions: c: is win2000 d: is winXP e: is winxp then I deleted e: and installed the win2000 advance server on e:, after that there's no problem to boot into win2000 advance server, but not the winxp (ie. d drive) I got the following error message: Windows 2000 could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEMd startup options for windows 2000. This is a windows XP, I don't understand why it says windows 2000  Can anyone help, thx. |

It's because the new windows 2k wrote over some of the boot files you were using with your windows XP setup. As for fixing it... I get that problem sometimes when I try messing around with my OS installs and haven't found a way to fix it other than reinstalling windows XP over its existing install...
