Hi all,
I have XP x64 SP2 as my default OS.
This part is working fine, boot.ini says its the default and the start screen confirms that, ALL OK
I also installed XP x86 SP3 (Both OS are Pro Eds. BTW).
My problem is with the x84 system which is giving the ole "ntoskrnl.exe" is missing or corrupt message. This just after a fresh install.
I've tried making some changes to the x86 line no success.
In my latest attempt I disconnected the x64 and reloaded the x86. At that point the boot.ini already an x86 line which would produce the "ntoskrnl.exe" at the onset. I deleted it, kept the latest x86 (which had been made default) set the x64 as default. When given the 2 options, x86 does not start and shows the "ntoskrnl.exe" as corrupt or missing.
I include my boot.ini here below in case someone can spot something amiss
[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="M$ Windows XP Pro x64" /fastdetect /noexecute=alwaysoff
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS.2="M$ Windows XP Pro x86" /fastdetect /noexecute=alwaysoff
Please tell me what I am doing wrong
Thanks
Lotek
