Cannot now boot into Windows 10
Hi All,
I have a Windows 10 PC. It did work and should do again. I partitioned the hard disk to install Windows XP so an old programme could get at LPT1. XP will not install - a problem with 'Devices' keeps giving the IRQL error. During the failed XP install, boot.ini was re-written so now the PC keeps trying to run up the failed XP. I need a boot.ini file that will access Windows 10 on C: drive, like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows 10, C:" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional, D:" /fastdetect
For my Windows 10 installation, how do I find the correct multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) values? Whatever I do, Windows 10 is ignored in favour of Windows XP. I can boot from a 'Bart PE' disk so I can see the whole disk. I just can't boot into Windows 10.
Regards
Gary
