hello,
I had a machine running win2000 pro, with win XP as a duel boot set up, worked fine.then I wanted to try Linux, I chose Mandrake 9.1, took some time to work it out, but it finnally installed fine.
but now all I can boot is 2000 & Linux...?, XP want boot, it can't find it.tech info.....
2x 120g hard drives patitioned into five parts,win2000pro on C:/...drive one(1)
Win XP Pro on D:/...drive two(2).
drive one(1) has C:/,E:/,F:/,G:/,H:/,...!
drive two(2) has D:/,I:/,J:/,K:/,L:/,...!
both C:/, & D:/, are primary(one on each drive,
rest are logical drives.
I made a 10g partition at the end of L:/, drive two(2), the one with XP using PMagic,
and created a linux partition with swop,is there some way to get XP back to booting with 2000, or do I have to reinstall XP...?
when I start machine Linux boot selection comes up, with linux etc, with a choice for windows as well, If I choose windows it changes to the old boot window with a choice of 2000, or xp. 2000 will start, but xp wont.
can any body help.......?
