Ladies and Gents,
I have a customer who had two computers. One dies. He wants to take the hard drive out of the dead one and put it into the live one.
The live computer runs W2K, the dead one runs W98.
I have a problem, because even though I have modified the Boot.ini file to reflect the first controller, second hard drive, first partition as the second boot chioce, the computer will not boot into the W98 disk.
I get an error telling me that WINNT cannot find the file NTOSERNL.
The key here is that I cannot reinstall either OS without losing all his programs and he does not have the media to reinstall them.
I knpow that if I boot up to 98 and then install W2K, everything will work, but I cannot reinstall W2K.
Any ideas?
Computer is set up with two hard drives, one with W98 and one with W2K.
Both of these will boot up when they are the master hard drive without fail.
Any help out there?
