I have two drives with C: being the first, and D:,E:,F:, and G: being the second. C: and D: were both bootable XP drives.
I had to do a format/install on C: last night, and now D: is no longer bootable. (Boot.ini changed)

Is there any way to set D: back up where it is bootable again? I really don't want to have to format another drive and lose all the data on D:, since it was the OS I used the most and have SO many settings I can't afford to lose. I have Ghost and R-Drive Image to use if needed.

You need to repost this in the question forum. Click the "Ask a question" link. More people looking for questions will look there. Unless, of course, you just want us to discuss your problem. :)

Try the "Questions" forum; the "Discussion" forum is for matters of general discussion, not specific problems in search of a solution.

Post problems such as this to the "Question" forum, rather than the "Discussion" forum. There are those who specifically seek out problems in need of a solution, and that's where they go to look for such.

Additionally there are the benefits that:

1) The "Questions" forum provides for your feedback, by way of your being able to mark "helpful" responses as such. This does not necessarily mean that a given response contained the complete solution to your problem, but only that it served to guide you toward it. This is intended to serve as an aid to those who may in the future have a problem similar to yours, so that they might have a ready source of reference available, thereby perhaps obviating the need for them to repeat questions previously asked and answered.

2) The revised TR makes it quite difficult to find both "Discussions" and "Questions" that have not had a fairly recent post, owing to some functions comingling them in the listings. By keeping each type in their respective forums, it is easier for all to find what they are looking for.
