her's my problem: I have to IDE drives, one on prim. and one on sec. IDE controller. (both with a primary partition and several logical part.) <br>
I want to set up WIN NT twice, once on every disk, so that in case of crash all I have to do is edit the boot file, and I'm ready to continue (after removing one of the HD's. <br>
What I did was: <br>
-disconnect cable on Sec. IDE controller, istall WIN NT 4 on Prim. part. on first IDE controller. <br>
-repeated this for the sec. IDE controller (disconnect cable and install NT) <br>
- in Partition Magic, I hide the primary partition of the second HD (IDE2), change letter for primary part. of first IDE controller into C:, unhide primary part of IDE2 controller and change letter into F:, <br>
so now I have: <br>
c:\ full NT 4. install. <br>
f:\ full NT 4. install. <br>
This seemed better than installing NT in the normal way twice, since I found out that NT is NOT installing all the files. E.g. NTOSKRNL.Exe is not installed, no booti.ini, no program files folder etc., so I'm afraid I can't just rip out one of the HD's and continue. <br>
<br>
Problem: <br>
What is the correct syntax for the boot.ini? Have tried everything (multi (0), (1), (2) and also the same for the other options (Rdisk etc.), but nothing works, either WIN can't find NTOSKRNL.exe or it states
