Re: Boot problems - "Error loading operating system"

What was the other Operating System ? How many physical disks does
your system have in it ?

The key thing at this point is to go SLOWLY and do not randomly do
operations to the PC.

I installed another OS hoping to dual boot with Windows and now I am
getting
an error message: "Error Loading Operating System" when I try to boot into
Windows.

I have used the fixmbr command in XP Recovery Console but it has not
solved
the problem. When I was asked which installation I wanted to go to, not
knowing what to put, I hit '1' and Enter. Should I have been entering the
command at C: prompt or c:\windows

Can anyone help please?

TIA
