I have a dual boot system.. it orginally ran win 95 and later was transformed into a dual boot system incorporating win nt 4.0. right now i can’t boot into win 95. the system freezes with the error message “i/o error accessing boot sector file multi(0) rdisk(0) partition(1)\\bootss”
this message relates to the bootsect.dos file.
the instructions i found tell me to transfer the bios parameter block (bpb) from the boot drive (c) at sector 0 into the boot code from the previous operating system and write this into the bootsect.dos.
step 1 is to use a generate a boot sector for the previous operating system.
it says (for example, if the previous operating system is ms-dos, boot ms-dos from a floppy disk and run the sys c: command…ok…..
my previous operating system was win 95…
so when i boot from the win 95 start up disk does this generate the boot sector or is there a command that i have to run to do this before going to step 2 which involves win nt setup……
