Booting Problem

  • 0

After a recent crash and recovery, when I boot I started getting the following message:

Try (hd0,0): NTFS5: No GRLDR
Try (hd0,1): NTFS5: No GRLDR
Try (hd0,2): None MS: skip
Try (hd0,3): Extended
Try (hd0,4): NTFS5: No GRLDR
Try (hd0,5): Extended
Try (fd0): invalid or null

Then the computer boots normally

My boot.ini file reads like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS=”Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP1″ /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

Is this responsible for that message or what?

  1. … you have the grub4dos bootloader kicking in at bootup.

    “…After a recent crash and recovery…”

    … aslong as it is’nt evoked by [pressing] your factory recovery <key> (?)

    … I’d use a bootup win98 disk and type FDISK /MBR [press enter]

    … and remove the Master Boot Record
