Re: CF booting problem sbc845000vea

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Slobodan,

ok, I did it the way like you describe it to me in post,now when booting I
have multiple choices of operating systems like suposed in boot.ini file. If
I select anyone of choices system reboot, I tried to put the rest of the
files and folders from the image but there is no change. Only restart after
any selection of OS.

Pozdrav!
