I had a dual boot, with Xp and ME.
Both running fine but all of a sudden when i did a reboot from my XP OS i get error of file at c:\windows\system\config\system is correupted or missing.
so i switched to my ME except the comptuer booted up as XP to my surprise with my ME desktop setting, i dunno why.
I figured maybe if i copy my system file to the directory where i'm having probs.
that didn't fix it...
i was going to back up all the stuff on that hd where i couldn't boot up to as i was still able to access files from my second boot up supposedly XP but i was a min too late.
so the next day (yesterday) i tried to boot it to me/xp (as it did last time) it woudn't boot up at all.
so i gave up, i didn't want to lose all the files...
I went and put in new Hd and installed XP on it and was able to view the stuff on the ME boot up hd and xfer it but the hd that had the XP that caused the initial prob no longer work.
I can't get it to load, i have doubled checked jumper setting for master/slave setting but at the bios screen first screen when u turn it on, most of the times it'd displays the 2 hds, but takes like 10 min to boot up, but the harddrive wouldn't be there, just the new hard disk.
HOw do i fix this prob?
any advice would be appreciated.
