Hey there, to start off I'm a semi-n00b when it comes to these things, so I will understand somethings, but please don't go postal in complexity. So I made my brother put XP on separate hd after I had put vista on another; except I think my brother did a different method (not using bcd) called 'boot streaming' which I assume is what bcd does, but...well, I'm not sure 100% what he did. (But it works)
To get at what I need help with, I want to get rid of the annoying bug when you restart OS that it deletes/overides the system restore points. I followed the detailed instructions from (How-To: Hide Vista Partition from XP with NeoGrub! The NeoSmart Files ) but I receive the error:
\NST\NeoGrub.mbr
0xc000000f
Applicaiton is missing or corrupt.
Now obviously you want to say: well check which hd its set to. Well that's where that lengthy story comes into: here's what the linux section says as my partitions:
Drive 0 // My personal key:
Partition 0 (???? - 0 GB)
Partition 1 (HPFS/NTFS - 10 GB) // Dell Recovery Partition
Partition 2 (HPFS/NTFS - 288 GB) // Vista Partition
Drive 1
Partition 0 (HPFS/NTFS - 149 GB) // XP Partition
Drive 2
Partition 0 (Win 95 XInt 13 - 1 GB)
So this is where it gets confusing:
a) when I boot, because of the convoluted method my bro' used, it says "Earlier Version of Windows" for XP
b) I have absolutely no clue what Partition 0 for HD 0 is. All I know is that the NEOGrub Bootloader states
"chainloader (hd0,0)/ntldr # SET THIS TO THE BOOT PARTITION
boot"
Which I understand the random numbering, but it boggles my mind because shouldn't it be (hd0,1)? [when I change it, it doesn't do anything.]
c) I am guessing that the last partition on a 3rd drive....a drive I don't have (only 2 hds) is something for the boot streaming? Because I believe that 1 GB is on the 2nd HD, but it 'tricks' it into thinkin a seperate HD?
So I hope this all makes sense to the point that the \NST\NeoGrub.mbr cannot be found even when I have:
-changed the location to C: (vista) and the D: (xp) drive
-Hid all the other options (in the configuration text) file.
Any help? THANKS!!!!!!
