Good day.
I installed mandrake 9.1 on my pc.
I have a single internal hard drive, initially partitionned to c: (18 GB) and D: (18 GB).
I have windows me on c: and windows xp on d:.
I used to start choosing the os with the classic windows loader.
While installing linux, I reduced c: size to 10 GB, and automatically partitionned the 8 GB then free automatically with mandrake. It created three new partitions (swap and two others, dont remember what!).
The problem is, that once mandrake installed, my windows xp (on d
become unable to start, and when I choose it from the loader, I got :
had.dll missing.
Then the system reboots.
I think that this is in relation with the partition number in the boot.ini file that have to be changed manually.
this is how my boot.ini looks like:
[boot loader]
timeout=1
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)(2)\WINXP="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
Any idea how to change this?
Thanks a lot
