I too get this message on boot. I'm trying to deploy an XP
image using many different methods all with the same
result. I'm deploying a dual boot dos, xp system with
fat32 which works fine with Win2k but will not work with
xp. I tried all solutions in that knowledge base article
and nothing works. In our situation dos is c and xp is d,
the image was installed and sysprep'd that way. The image
is acpi to acpi but different Dell models. Does anyone
have any idea why this won't work? We've used a zip
imaging system, and two other sector by sector copy
methods (ghost and another) nothing works! Still get this
same exact error. I have also restored the ntldr and
ntdetect.com from the xp disk on the primary active dos
partition and the boot.ini is correct. I've been working
on this issue for weeks and I'm not getting anywhere. Any
help is appreciated...
