I am trying to figure out why my systems no longer wants to boot!!! I have a A7N8X-E deluxe with AMD 3200 with 3 HDs. 1) One SATA with Windows XP installed 2) One IDE master w/o any OS (just data) 3) One IDE slave w/o any OS (just data) drive 1 was assigned letter C drive 2 was assigned letter S drive 3 was assigned letter P when I booted my system on Saturday instead of loading Windows (and logo) I see the NVIDIA boot something message ... I got a message that essentially said cannot find os. When I go into recovery console (loading the SATA drivers) it finds the only instance of Windows but it now says that it is on drive D. And now drive 2 is assigned C. If I run MAP I get: E: FAT32 983MB \Device\Harddisk0\Partition1 C: FAT32 xxxMB \Device\Harddisk4\Partition1 P: NTFS xxxMB \Device\Harddisk5\Partition1 D: NTFS xxxMB \Device\Harddisk6\Partition1 A: \Device\Floppy0 I: \Device\CdRom0 the CDROM is supposed to be D. Drive E I don't know what it is. Drive C is just data and is supposed to be S. Drive P is just fine. Drive is supposed to be C and is the one with Windows XP installed on it. My Boot.ini looks is: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect Should Harddisk# match the disk(0) of "..multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)..."? Is my boot.ini file ok as is? Please help!!!
