Dell Dimension 8200 with XP PRO SP3 and all other updates. Has Dell BIOS A09 on it (latest for this computer)
It will not boot from either of the 2 CD-DVD drives. It will boot fine into Windows XP and it can boot to a
Ghost Boot Floppy disk.
It has the following:
Floppy is on Drive "A"
Hard Drive "C" (this one has XP on it)
Hard Drive "D" (mainly for data and back up files)
CD-DVD Drive "E" (Sony DRU-530) This drive may be bad, can not always see CD data
CD-DVD Drive "F" (Phillips) (it won't boot from this one either even if the CD is in it and it should)
Below is how the boot.ini file looks:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
[spybotsd]
timeout.old=30
Not sure what needs to change. Thanks
