[LBo] [Fwd: [fpqrp] Help fixing Win2k Boot Loader.....]

[Sam Morgan]

Anyone have an answer for this gentleman?

Okay, I need some help here.  I recently installed Debian to some spare
space on my main drive.  It made it's own partitions, and now the Win2k
bootloader can't find windows.  Windows is still on the same partition,
and I have made no changes in boot.ini.

On my main drive, this is the partition info from fdisk:

===

Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes
240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 5169 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 = 7741440 bytes

    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1              69        3789    28130760    f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda2   *        3790        5169    10432800   83  Linux
/dev/hda4               1          68      514048+   6  FAT16
/dev/hda5              69        3725    27646888+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda6            3726        3789      483808+  82  Linux swap / Solaris

Partition table entries are not in disk order

===

Here is my boot.ini file:

===

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional" /fastdetect
C:\ = "Unidentified operating system on drive C."

===

That "Unidentified...." bit refers to a FAT16 partition I have at the
start of the disk for XOSL.

Win2k has always been /dev/hda5 in Linux, and has always been referred
to as partition(2).  Before, it was like this:

/dev/hda4 FAT16 XOSL partition
/dev/hda5 Win2k Partition
/dev/hda6 Knoppix

Knoppix and Win2k were in an extended partition or something... That has
always confused me.

Windows hasn't changed partitions or anything... so what do I need to do
to make it boot again?  Am I fubar'd here?  Argh.
