sys c: after win2k installation

Hi

What you have done is to make the hard drive bootable, but it will only boot if the files for the Windows 95 operating system have been loaded. The files copied by the Windows 95 boot disk do not contain the files required by Windows 2000. Forexample boot.ini and NTLDR will not have ben copied.

You need to make the hard drive bootable so it can be recognised by Windows 2000.

Hi,
Use a set of diskettes from www.bootdisk.com for Win2k to restore your system files.

to be able to boot into both systems, you'll need the boot files for both Win95, which you already have, and win2k.

For win2k, you need NTLDR, NTDETECT, BOOT.INI.

If you have any other computer running windows 2000 (pro of server) you can copy the files from there. Just be sure to check the boot.ini to include the correct path to the O/S that are installed on your machine.

it is not possible to restore win2k, once you run the command sys c: you have lost the booting option to win2k so there is no chance to go into win2k, you have to reinstall the win2k os.

after installing win95, win2k os intalled means the win2k os is superior and powerful it takes control for all win2k os in system and created a boot.ini file and writes the dtails in the first sector of the boot disk in hdd, you have rewrited the first sector with win95 system file, so the record for win2k control sector which was written by win2k is lost, ie., ok you can repair this thing while installing the win2k os it will ask for the repair option try that. i hope this will help for your problem.

Try modifying BOOT.ini on the root of your hard drive to match the following:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
