* others who have more information can add to the conversation. * others who are looking for the same answers as you can read the answers, both immediately and in the archives Also, I suggest that you do not top-post (putting your reply at the top of the email); instead, you should intersperse your replies directly following the material to which you're replying. This is the preferred method on this list. (Not to mention that it makes sense; it's the way you conduct every other conversation in your life. It's just that certain *ahem* email clients have trained people to do it the wrong way by encouraging top-posting, so that everyone does it now. Well, everyone but this list and a few others.) > Of course only > sarge is on hda3. Okay. You might also want to break your install into at least three partitions; one for /, one for /home, and one for swap. (I personally prefer even more partitions; there are good security/safety reasons for this, but for most people, one or two partitions, plus swap, are usually fine.) > I follow your instrution and use > fixboot only, it does not help.

However, I think the ntoskrnl.exe file is not a "boot file", so I think a rebuild of Windows may be in order. I vaguely remember being able to fix this sort of problem without a rebuild, but it's a vague memory and I make be imagining it. I also just remembered finding a web site that addressed this sort of thing: http://www.informationweek.com/LP/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=185301251&pgno=1 It mentions using the "bootcfg /rebuild" option, which might help you out. I recommend you read that article; it might solve your problem. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
