Error Loading Operating System Windows Xp
so I didn't panic when I first got this message on boot: "Error loading operating system". I simply went into the Windows Recovery console, and did a fixboot. That didn't resolve it, so I then did a fixmbr. Still, nothing. I then went into Testdisk, and rebuilt the MBR from there. I still get the same error. Thoughts? I can still access the Windows installation through the recovery console, but can't get the machine to boot

correctly no matter what I try.Summary-D: NTFS partition decreased in size from 14gb to 12gb, then moved to end of disk.C: NTFS boot partition expanded into the newly free 2gb of space.All done as one operation.More information:TestDisk is showing the following information for the partitions:* HPFS - NTFS 0 1 1 648 160 24 10420161P HPFS - NTFS 648 160 25 2212 254 63 25131614Is this a valid structure? Seems like the primary should start at 649 since boot ends at 648.RESOLUTION: Looks like I was on to something with the TestDisk results. Used it to delete the second partition, and it booted like a charm. Not sure why Gparted overlapped the partitions like that, but thankfully it's not a big deal for me to rebuild that.--Mike 2 Reply by gedakc 2010-11-14 01:41:12 gedakc Developer Offline Registered: 2007-11-30 Posts: 4,111 Re: [Solved] Error loading operating system after resize/move It is good to hear that you were able to resolve the problem.To determine if the partitions were overlapping or not, you really need to see the partition table by sectors, not blocks (i.e., fdisk -l -u).

Here are the exact steps I followed: Installed Windows 7 on a clean drive - Windows created a 100MB system partition, then I created a 350MB partition for the O/S, and I left 125GB unallocated. Installed Windows XP in a new partition allocated from 125GB unallocated space. After first reboot of Windows XP setup, error loading operating I get "Error loading operating system". I attempted to fix the problem using the "Startup Repair" tool on the Windows 7 installation DVD, and although it found a "master boot record corruption" and fixed it, I still get the same error after rebooting. windows-7 windows boot share|improve this question asked Oct 15 '09 at 6:50 gdenning 12815 migrated from serverfault.com Jan 6 '10 at 10:13 This question came from our site for system and network administrators. add a comment| 7 Answers 7 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote accepted Windows 7 would have to be the last OS installed. The XP bootloader may be unable to handle Windows 7, but the other way around is likely fine. Try fixing your mbr (/fixmbr) from a Win 7 recovery console. share|improve this answer answered Oct 15 '09 at 7:39 Xorlev 1764 Thanks Xorlev, you set me on the right path. "Bootrec /fixmbr" at the Win 7 recovery console fixed the problem. –gdenning Oct 15 '09 at 14:38 You can also use BcdEdit which is good tool. –avirk Jun 13 '12 at 15:12 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote I can confirm that the XP bootloader does not handle Windows 7 well, and that even reinstalling XP over a HD that previously had windows 7 on it can be a hairy experience. Standard practice for multibooting Windows is to install OS versions in order from oldest to newest, and so far as I am aware thi
