So basically i had the 127GB HDD error and what i did was make a new partition using a Windows OS disc. So now it had 2 partitions with 1 OS on each one. It didnt work out and install correctly, so i restarted and there were 2 lines. One to boot one OS and the other to boot the other. Of course, one OS didnt boot, so i selected the other one. So now i wanted to jst delete everything on the other partition including that 2nd OS because it would boot that first and not the original. Because everytime i started my comp, it would boot up the incompleted OS and i didnt want to keep selecting the other OS everytime my comp started. So i looked how to fix it up and i read sumthing to delete "attrib +r +h boot.ini" something line in my CMD. I deleted the last line on the note pad and then restarted the computer. Now when i restart i cant choose any OS. It jst says "boot sumthing sumthing is missing" I cant access my C Drive OS, the one that works. What should i do? Please HElP! EDIT: Now the dual boot screen wont even appear, it jst keeps going back to the incomplete OS setup and i cant get back to the original drive that works.
What you probably read about deleting the last line in the boot.ini file would depend on which partition you wanted to keep. It sounds like your 2nd partition was working, thus you didn't want to delete the line containing that information from the boot.ini file. You can read more about the boot.ini file at the following link. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022 Now that the file has been edited and you can't boot into windows, you'll need to edit the boot.ini file using a boot disc. You can choose from several didn't options, but the most popular is probably BartPE. http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ Once you boot your computer using the BartPE disc, you can now edit the boot.ini file. Simply click on Go, then select Programs, and click on A43 File Management Utility. From there, click on C: (or whichever drive letter the partition you want to boot is using) and then double click the boot.ini file to edit it. You should refer to the Microsoft link above to understand what it should look like.
If you don't have a bartpe, you can use the free "paragon rescuekit 9.0 express" it has a boot corrector that can edit your boot.ini file.
