I have 2 HD's with a single partition each. The c: drive has XP and is fine. I reformatted the 2nd drive and installed Server 2003. After the initial reboot during installation, the error comes up "missing or corrupt system32/ntoskrnl". If i choose XP, the PC boots up fine.
I have gone through and can not for the life of me figure out what to do.
Here is what my boot.ini shows right now, which in all accounts looks perfect to me. If i unhook the C: drive and boot, it says "error loading operating system". If i try to reinstall 2003 with the c drive unhooked, it says the same. These are SATA drives on an Nforce3 Board BTW.
[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Enterprise" /fastdetect
