Well, I never got W2K to dual-boot but it’s no longer relevant since all migration is complete. When I (incorrectly) setup this dual-boot system, I left the W2K partition as the boot partition. The hard drive had three partitions – XP (system), XP (everything else) and W2K. Situation: When I installed XP, I thought I’d keep the existing W2K installation to make sure that I had migrated everything correctly. RE: Fixboot command – I would like to double check my understanding of this command before I go and use it.

If not, feel free to elevate it or move it. This looks like the correct thread to put this question in. Can anyone tell me how to get this from my Windows 98 boot floppy? Now I need to find a working BOOTSECT.DOS for a Windows98SE installation.

I have edited BOOT.INI to have the correct lines. Recovery Console use of FIXBOOT followed by copying NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM to C: have enabled me to boot Windows XP again. Now I have to restore NTLDR and whatever else is nneded in a System Partition I found fixboot on the recovery console eventually, but I will leave this here for the next person who is searching for it. I can boot from the Windows XP CD and start the Recovery Console which lets me see the files, but I can’t work out how to recover the boot information. This lost the information needed to boot XP. The Windows 98 was giving me problems AGAIN this morning and so I restored the first partition from a Ghost image. The XP is a recent addition, when it was installed the dual boot worked perfectly. The first has Windows 98, the second is data and the third is Windows XP Professional SP1.
