installed solaris, but xp not booting,but its shown in the menu,urgen help pls!!!
Hi all,
I had solaris installed earlier hoping to create a new partition ,i was checking out smc..
Here i accidentally entered to create a new partition but no sooner than i did it,i had a power cut and after that my partition table got corrupted ,i guess...
Having no choice i first installed xp...
I have a 250gb HD, so 10gb was allocated to C: then 20 to D:,
about 90 remaining gb was just formatted and kept...
The remaining space was left as RAW..
Now from this RAW space which showed some 100gb or so,i selected 60gb and created my slices,(during the solaris disk setup itself) and installed ,but after the installation i was able to log into solaris and the windows opt was shown at the grub menu...
(Ever since this mishap i am not being able to install frm c0d0..
Its always c1d0)
However when i tried booting it,
i get this error "unable to locate disk"....
press ctrl+alt+del to restart...
This happened to me 2 times since i screwed up my system??
I want to know how i can retrieve xp back even when solaris installed?
Pls help me ,its urgent!!
This is what it says in menu.lst
title windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
This is not # so i know its being detected...
Could anyone pls help me resolving this issue?
Thanks
