O.K here's the deal I installed winXp pro few weeks ago on C:, today I installed win2k pro on D:, and Win2k Server on E:
Don't think I'm silly for having three OS's I really need them. WinXP is for my daily stuff and w2k pro and w2k server is just
to help me to do some stuff for my upcoming MSCE exams. Enough of that, here's the problem a while back I had w2k pro on C and
then installed XP on D dual boot worked fine but now that I installed w2k's after XP I get this error message when trying to boot
to XP: C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemB missing or corrupt. how in the hell do I fix this. I can boot into wsk pro and server fine
but not XP. Any suugestion is a good suggestion as long as I don't have reinstall XP. Thanks

Hi, I presume XP has the same kind of repair options like W2K.
Did you try them (boot from XP cd choose repair or try the recovery console)?

Recovery console command fixboot I meant or the repair option when you start an install..

Maybe this helps.

Some hints about faulty ram.
Check the url.

Edit: sorry for posting so much.
So XP also has system restore you could use.

Here's what I had to do: after nothing else worked I figured I would just reinstall it,
so I started a fresh install from within w2k and when it rebooted to setup it scaned
the hd for OS's when it found my previous XP i just selected it and it asked me if I wanted
to fix it. Then it removed a bunch of files and reinstalled (almost like a whole new install)
and when I rebooted everything was back to the old self (all my users and settings were there).
