I have (For the 2nd time) Installed XP Pro When I did this first time around (When it was released) it recognised my existing ME boot and automatically created a multi boot config on startup. I lost that XP install when I changed Mobo (BSOD on boot) and never bothered installing again till now. This time I started fresh install on my second disk and formated it as NTFS. It now just boots into XP. I have done Recovery Console boot and BOOTCFG /SCAN and tried /REBUILD but it does not see the ME boot on the other drive. I am using an Abit KR7A-Raid mobo with HighPoint drivers, I press F6 at setup and use the latest drivers and can in fact DIR the drives at recovery console. When I was installing XP a few reboots came up with ntlldr error and I had to recover that and restarted the install. Also on second install it failed on Welcome screen point with just a white dot top left of screen, if I left it a few minutes a NV4DISP.DLL loop message appeared, I managed to Safe boot and install NVidia 41.09 drivers and then it was fine. I tried manually up[censored] the boot ini with different RDISK values but entry would just show HAL.something missing. So, any way I can fix this ? config the Boot.ini manually ? Have I lost the MBR ? Do I have to do FIXBOOT ? Something else. Been MS Site and cannot find anything apart from using BOOTCFG/SCAN or /REBUILD

I actually resolved this and I am sure that you wanted to help Vermyn but your actually wrong *sign*, in fact most of your comments are very wrong. It was to do with the ME HD drive being on the extra IDE slots controlled by the highpoint driver. (HP) I moved the ME HD to the standard IDE slot and XP to the HP IDE slot. Ran recovery console, did BOOTCFG /REBUILD After minor manual adjustment of the Boot.ini I now have both disks booting fine 8) The ME install does not see the XP NTFS drive but 3rd party stuff can enable that, which is what I am going looking for now
