SolutionAfter that you should be able to see a few more files in the root of your WinXP partition. The files that must be present to be able to boot from that partition are ntldr, ntdetect.com and boot.ini. One more thing to check is whether your WinXP partition is active, i.e. if this is the partition your computer boots from. Right-click 'My Computer', select Manage and click Disk Management, then right-click your WinXP partition and see if 'Mark Partition Active' option is grayed out. If it is, the partition is active and you should be OK. Just remove the:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Enterprise" /fastdetect
line from boot.ini, and do what you want to the Win2003 partition.

Re: dual boot problem
I will follow your suggestion and delete that line and then the partition.
Thanks again.

Re: dual boot problem
When do you stop learning in this game? The other side of the grave I suppose.
