I have a system with two Win2000 loads.
One is English, the other is Japanese.
Each is on it's own hard drive, and both hard drives are on
the same IDE controller.
I had to re-install the English version last week.
After I did, even though I have the option to select the
Japanese version through the boot.ini, it will not boot.
The English version, when selected, boots with no problem.
Here is the boot.ini:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 Pro English"
/fastdetect
signature(5331b63d)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 Pro
Japanese" /fastdetect
I am aware that the "signature..." part of the second selection is the
signature
of the second hard drive, and when I checked, it is correct.
When I select the Japanese OS to boot, this is what I get:
"Windows 2000 could not start because of a computer disk hardware
configuration
problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and
disk
hardware. Please check the windows 2000 (tm) documentation about hardware
disk configuration and our hardware reference manuals for additional
information."
After booting the English version, I can look at the second hard drive, and
the files required to boot that drive look fine. I did nothing, that I am
aware of, that would make any changes to the OS when reinstalling the
English version.
TIA
