I have WinXP and now I also have Win2K. My basic problem is that I can't boot to XP.
I used Partition Magic 8 to create a new partition for Win2K. I installed Win2K, no prob. I'm using Win2K right now.... but, evidently it messed up the boot manager thingy and now I can't get into WinXP.... I like Win2K just as much or more than XP now... but I still wanna be able to use WinXP.... so, what do I do? When I try to load xp, I get some kinda error having to do with a corrupt file on down the line through a bunch of folders ie: folder/folder/folder/folder.
I loaded the repair console from the xp cd and tried to do the "fixboot" command. Then I tried to edit the boot configuration using this other command (don't remember which). I ended up re-adding xp and 2k under slightly different names to the boot manager (so now there's 4), but they don't work either.
so, I'm stumped. Basically, I guess I could just delete the xp folders, etc... and not use it any more... but I still wanna be able to.
HELP!
