Janneman Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 I have a dual-boot system (Windows 98 /Red Hat Linux).Under windows, I played with PQBoot.Now I can't boot windows anymore. It tries to boot from floppy, which it normally never does.When I use a floppy with 'command.com', 'autoexec.bat' and 'config.sys' and try to boot windows in safe mode I get the message that the following files are corrupted or missing:c:\windows\himem.sysc:\windows\dblbuff.sysc:\windows\ifshlp.sysHow I fix this?Regards,Janneman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janneman Posted November 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 I can only get an A:\ prompt. It seems that my C-drive isn't recognized.I can reach my windows files from Linux. Maybe I could fix it from there by replacing or changing some files?Janneman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janneman Posted November 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Linux's 'cfdisk -g' told me that my Windows partition was hidden.Changing that solved the problem.Thanks,Janneman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
