recently I experienced the same or very similar error sequences and perhaps
this solution will help you.
The solution was two fold: First make sure that you have the active drive
set to the correct partition on your boot drive. Second you will probably
want to rewrite the MBR. The error message does not indicate the actual
problem.
These two suggestions came from Symantek and worked fine. You can use your
boot cd to get into a recovery console mode. From there select the correct
location for your OS (if it asks). At the prompt type help. Then execute
Fixboot and next fixmbr.
These same actions can be done from a W98 bootable disk with Fdisk. There
1) execute Fdisk ...set active partition .. select the correct partition and
2) execute "fdsisk /mbr"
That should allow you to boot past that error. Afterwards look around your
different partitions for any "extra" pagefile files that are not listed in
the virtual memory settings. And note this presumes that you do have better
than 550Mb free space on your boot partition. Otherwise you will get a new
error and you will need to specify a beter location for the actual page file
(Virtual Memory settigns)
Hope this helps some.
