Error Failed To Add The Selected Boot Entry
selected boot entry to the boot list error and bootup hang problem in Windows XP x64 OS (Rev: 1.0) For the Asus P8H77-M computer with 16 GB RAM, I have installed Windows 7 x64 Operating System (OS) with the below partitions layout: c:\ drive (Primary partition with Windows 7 x64 OS. Label: Win7x64) d:\ drive (DVD drive) e:\ drive (Primary partition to store my files. Label: JackNg) However, I cannot get used to the Windows 7 x64 OS because I am already very comfortable in using Windows XP OS. Hence, I booted the Asus P8H77-M computer from an Acronis Disk Director (ADD) 11 Home edition bootup CDROM and used the ADD 11 Home software to delete the Windows 7 boot partition (about 100 MB) and Windows 7 x64 OS Partition (Label: Win7). I left the previous e:\ drive (Label: JackNg) partition because it contained some of my files. After exiting from the ADD 11 Home software, I used the Windows XP x64 OS CDROM to boot the computer and installed Windows XP x64 OS to the unallocated Win7x64 partition. After the Windows XP x64 OS installation had completed, I discovered the below partitions layout for the Windows XP x64 OS: c:\ drive (Primary partition that is previously used to store my files. Label: JackNg) d:\ drive (DVD drive) e:\ drive (Logical partition with Windows XP x64 OS. Label: WinXPx64) I wanted to change the Windows XP x64 OS from e:\ drive to c:\ drive. Under the "Computer Management" (Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management) -> "Storage" -> "Disk Management", I changed the DVD drive (left mouse click to select it, then right-click and click "Change Drive Letter and Paths...") from d:\ drive to w:\ drive. Then, I copied the below boot related system hidden files from the root of c:\ drive (Label: JackNg) to the root of e:\ drive (Label: WinXPx64): AUTOEXEC.BAT boot.ini CONFIG.SYS IO.SYS MSDOS.SYS NTDETECT.COM ntldr In Windows Explo

Boot.ini corrupt Started by digikiwi , Apr 18 2007 05:15 AM Please log in to reply #1 digikiwi Posted 18 April 2007 - 05:15 AM digikiwi Member Member 259 posts Not sure what caused this - I suspect some update http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/155760-bootini-corrupt/ - I'm not the only person using this machine (although only 1 user account).The computer running xp mc2002 will no longer boot up off its own back. It gets as far as verifying dmi pool data.........update succeeded and goes no further. After searching around for solutions on my laptop I tried copying ntldr and ntldetect.com as well as a generic boot.ini onto a floppy. This allows me to choose boot into windows xp and gets me into the system. Did that, did a system restore and everything worked fine. Just in case I copied the boot.ini from my C: to the floppy (see below). A couple of boots later the problem recurred. So the big question: How can I fix this without having to system restore, having since downloaded some big proggy updates.[boot loader]timeout=0default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS[operating systems]multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Media Center Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /TUTag=ZIZ87M /Kernel=TUKernel.exemulti(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Media Center Edition (TuneUp Backup)" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /TUTag=ZIZ87M-BAKTIA for any light shed on this... 0 Advertisements #2 pyron81 Posted 18 April 2007 - 05:40 AM pyron81 Member Member 298 posts Hello and welcome to Geeks to Go, To resolve

As I'd like to - at least testwise - install Ubuntu GNOME on it, I created a bootable USB stick with the 14.04 LTS ISO of Ubuntu GNOME. However, when trying to boot it, I only receive the following message: The selected boot device failed. Press
