In recovery console,
how do I see which partition/drive is active?
how do I set a partition/drive as active?
If need be how do I change drive letters? I've read on some posts to
use DISKPART but am not sure what are the proper commands and would
prefer not to screw up my drive/parttion.
The above may help me solve the issue... which comes from:
I am trying to figure out why my systems no longer wants to boot!!!
I have a A7N8X-E deluxe with AMD 3200 with 3 HDs.
1) One SATA with Windows XP installed
2) One IDE master w/o any OS (just data)
3) One IDE slave w/o any OS (just data)
drive 1 was assigned letter C
drive 2 was assigned letter S
drive 3 was assigned letter P
when I booted my system on Saturday instead of loading Windows (and
logo) I see the NVIDIA boot something message ... I got a message that
essentially said cannot find os.
When I go into recovery console (loading the SATA drivers) it finds
the only instance of Windows but it now says that it is on drive D.
And now drive 2 is assigned C.
If I run MAP I get:
E: FAT32 983MB \Device\Harddisk0\Partition1
C: FAT32 xxxMB \Device\Harddisk4\Partition1
P: NTFS xxxMB \Device\Harddisk5\Partition1
D: NTFS xxxMB \Device\Harddisk6\Partition1
A: \Device\Floppy0
I: \Device\CdRom0
the CDROM is supposed to be D.
Drive E I don't know what it is.
Drive C is just data and is supposed to be S.
Drive P is just fine.
Drive is supposed to be C and is the one with Windows XP installed on
it.
My Boot.ini looks is:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional"
/noexecute=optin /fastdetect
Should Harddisk# match the disk(0) of "..multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)..."?
Is my boot.ini file ok as is?
Please help!!!
