Hope someone can shed some light on this problem.

I was running W2K3 Enterprise Server and XP in a dual boot scenario installed on 2 separate hard drives (W2K3 on C: and XP on D. Everything was working fine, with W2K3 as my default OS.

Then I was having a few problems with XP and decided to reinstall it, deleting the partition and reformatting drive D. W2K3 was not touched at all.

Now, whenever I boot up and choose W2K3 in the OS option menu, the system restarts and brings me back to the menu. I can choose the newly installed XP and it loads up fine, but I can't load up into W2K3 anymore.

Any ideas? Can I reinstall W2K3 on top of itself without losing data? I reinstalled Windows 2000 onto itself before and it worked, but if anyone has tried this with W2K3, any help would be appreciated.

My boot.ini file looks like this:

[boot loader]
timeout=15
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windo ws Server 2003, Enterprise" /fastdetect
