Did you fix the disk references in boot.ini? For example, my boot.ini: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
[boot loader] |
| 32 |
timeout=30 |
| 33 |
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS |
| 34 |
[operating systems] |
| 35 |
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP |
| 36 |
Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I am pretty sure that those disk(0) options need to be changed to |
| 39 |
disk(1). Although, I don't actually know what the rdisk(0) means, so |
| 40 |
you may need to play with both. |
