Guest Praveen Verma Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Hi, My Xp system is not able to detect the Server 2003 on my PC. ok situation is like this : -------------------------- 2 days back i have XP+Server 2003 on my PC. Was working fine and perfectly. XP was in C:\ and 2003 was in D:\ Yesterday i got some problem in XP, so i reinstalled XP in C:\. Now at the booting time it was showing only option for Windows XP, so i edited the boot.ini by going "System Properties->Advance->Recovery". Now i am getting the boot option for server 2003. But when i am choosing server 2003 from booting option, it is not starting. Is there any other setting i should do or i have to again install 2003. Please help. Thanks in Advance. --praveen
