Hi guys,

Heres the scenario:

Ive just upgraded my system with new motherboard, cpu etc. I have however kept my original harddrives (trying to avoid reinstall - at least in the short term).
My system is set up as a dual boot Win2k pro and XP pro.
When I tried to boot from my original drives i got bsod from both startups - not too surprised as the mainboards different (old one RAID new one is not).
Anyway, I repaired the XP Pro install (with the XP boot CD)and got it working - great I thought now do the same with the 2K installation. Used the 2K CD this time and repaired the 2K install - and yep this starts fine.

Now the problem:

When I tried to restart in XP I got the "following file is missing corrupt message.. ..\system32\config\systemd"

So I checked Win 2k and it starts fine. Okay I thought do repair of XPPro again... Yep got it working and it boots okay.
Now reboot into 2k Pro - what the !! Same message again "Windows couldnt start because the following file is missing or corrupt \winnt\system32\config\system"

I have done this 3 times now and I am able to repair one or the other but not both - please help...

Cheers

Somebody must have an idea??? PLease help..
 
Thanks for the link but that repair does not work - I had to repair win2k to get it to load and followed the instructions and yes I could load XP but couldnt load 2k. If I repair 2k cant load XP - fix 2k cant load XP.....

Im going round in circles - get one working and not the other....
