OS Loader V4.01

[Gerald Jeremiah]

Hi,

I am unable to boot into NT, as I get as far as the "NTDETECT" and "OS
Loader" screen and I get the following error message:

Windows NT could not start because the following file is missing
<winnt root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
please re-install a copy of the above file

That however is incorrect, as my NT4.01/SP-6 files are all intact. I
believe that the OS Loader is pointing to the wrong partition. How do I
redirect the OS Loader to the correct partition and files?

Thanks.

check, and if needed, edit your boot.ini file

You need to edit the ARC path in C:\boot.ini to point at your current boot
partition.

Best regards

[[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WIN2000
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WIN2000="Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional" /fastdetect
C:\="Microsoft Windows"

That's my boot.ini above. Since I multi boot with 3 OSers, how can I
obtain the information as to the location of the disk, partitions, etc.?

Somehow, I think that PQ Magic changed the location of my drives or
boot.ini when I accessed the utility after installing a new EIDE HDD.

Initially, I only had two SCSI drives installed. Presently, I have two
SCSI drives and one EIDE. The boot drive is still the SCSI.

What would a typical NT boot loader look like?

Thanks

I got the exact same problem as you, I'll let you know if I got it resolved.
Could you let me know as well?

Thanks.

All:

Did you look at the boot.ini file? It may be pointing to the wrong
partition.
