What build are you running there by the way?

I'm running Beta 2. There's a problem with the second command.

Please post the contents of bcdedit so that we can see what drive has now been allocated to {ntldr} and then we'll take it from there.

Have you rebooted yet to see if it works already?

Reboot only goes straight to XP. I'll be receiving a new drive next week but I'm interested in getting this solved and in the process I'm learning a lot here.

Now that the drive letter of your XP installation has been fixed try running bootsect /NT60 ALL again but take the command prompt C drive with CD\ before running it

Erm, I'm not too sure on this, can you elaborate a bit? :oops:

EDIT: You mean I should be in C:\ when doing this?

You are the man Graham, you took on my wonky drive set up and beat it into submission! It all works now! :notworthy I can't believe it but it's true! It's nice to see that a wonky install does not mean a clean format all the time! It's very much appreciated Graham!

Oh wow thats excellent news thank you augie. Theres just a few basic requirements and if they all exist then it must be possible to "rescue" an installation. It's when the basics are not in place that things become really tricky

I'm glad you perservered and got it working. We all learned a lot in the process ^*^
