Can't BOOT WIN2k

Recommended Posts

I can't boot win2k, after i installed win98 in another partition.. the things i copy "ntldr, ntdetect.com, boot.ini, bootsect.dos" to the c:\ drive ( the partition where WIN2k is ), but when i set that partition active.. it doesn't do anything..

here is the boot.ini froom the bootable floppy

 

[boot Loader]

Timeout=5

Default=C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT

[Operating Systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect

C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Setup"

 

This ini boots smooth when run from the floppy, but when i try to run from the HD>. nothing happens! HELP!

Easiest way to awoid this problem is to install win98 first, on the c: drive, and then win2k.

Have you tried the "Repair boot sector"-option in the win2k installation program?
