Hi, I posted this message in operating systems, as it occured after I installed Linux to try and dual boot... but this is also tech support related, so maybe you guys could take a look.. thanks!
Okay, I just posted earlier this afternoon which Linux to install.... I went ahead and downloaded Mandrake 7.2 and installed it, it went decently, it runs, I haven't configured all the hardware and don't really know how to use it, but that's not a big deal... a big deal however is when I try to boot into windows using Linux's built in loader, it gives me this exact message:
Windows 2000 could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem.
Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware.
Please check the Windows 2000 (TM) documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information.
I tried using the Win2K Professional CD and repair the installation via console using 'fixboot' but that didn't work, and fixmbr didn't work either... i still always get that message, is my system gone or is it fixable (if it is, let me know how! if it won't work, let me know that too, so I can go ahead and start rebuilding)....
Thanks!
Anthony
