Boot to second partition fails
Have a Drive Image 2002 (Powerquest) disk image of my primary partition
on an 80G SATA disk, drive C. Have XP pro SP1 on it, which I am using right now writing this. Restored this image on the second partition of the same SATA disk. Changed the boot.ini file on the second partition to point to the second partition. [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOW S [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect Using partition magic (Powerquest), made the second partition active and changed its drive letter to C. Reboot. In the process, Partition Magic also hides the first partition. Hence being able to use C as the drive letter. It goes through the black screen with XP written on it and then gets to the Blue screen with the cursor. But, there is no account name to use to login. It gets stuck there. The image is OK since I have already restored it to the first partition and it works. What am I doing wrong? I am sorry if this not the right group. What group should I post this to? Thanks, Navid |
