Dual Boot with XP Pro and W2K Server

I have a machine here at my office that was running XP Pro. I used Partition Magic to split the drive to 2 partitions. I then ghosted an image from a functioning w2ks machine onto the new partition.

I booted back to the XP side and setup the boot.ini file.

I set the default to be the XP partition and then setup the w2ks line.

When I reboot I get the prompt to select the partition. If I select XP everything works fine. When I select the w2ks partition I get errors about missing dlls in %systemroot%\system32\ folder.


Boot.ini
[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Server" /fastdetect

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

.....why not just throw all data on the xp box. you obviously are not using 2k/server as a server if your dual booting. or vise versa.

¿did you try using the repair. not the console but "esc, then enter when it finds 2ks on the drive"

i havent had to think about it in 4 years but i dont think that 2ks will run other than on the primary part.

or you have a driver error when you ghosted if the 2 boards dont have the same chipset. dll ext.

your boot.ini isnt the source of prob.

have to install 2k server or not ,on a drive first, then xp, and need to do a clean install of xp for it to have the correct boot loaders,might use third party software like bootmagic, fixboot wont help on this
