my multi boot can't boot to XP 'resumeobject' is missing
- by GwenKillerby
In my multi boot set up, booting to vista and 7 goes fine, but when I try to boot to XP, i get an error
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next."
3. Click "Repair your computer."
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
File: \NTLDR
Status: 0xc000000e
Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
See below. Clearly the resumeobject seems to be missing in the XP entry ("Real Mode Boot sector"), only I don't know how to restore it. Vista is on **C:**, Win7 is on **F:** (as is the bootmgr ??? ) and WinXP is on **E:**
What I've tried:
[1]
I've used about 5 windows discs, that is the Recovery Consoles from real XP install CD's and 3 virtual Recovery Consoles. All failed.
The real CD's work ONE time, but won't let me finish, I only got as far as
[b]fixboot E:[/b]
Then they shut the laptop down, I kid you not. On a next startup, all 5 CD's ask me for some Admin password that I've never added!
[2] I have VisualBCD and EasyBCD, but the most obvious things I tried there didn't solve the problem. So know I don't exactly know what to do with them.
[3] I CAN boot into XP with the FIX NTLDR workaround of http://milescomer.com/tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm, but it doesn't fix it permanently
QUESTION:
How do I fix it permanently?
