Doesn't work. The WinXP boot console opens alright but
that's all. As I've said elsewhere, boot.ini *is*
accessible along with ntdetect and ntldr -- they just
don't work. An XP boot disk doesn't work. I used PM 8
to look at the drive and the entire 120G drive is
flagged w/ error #110. This, I'm told, can be fixed
using findpart.exe to list the partitions and then
ptedit.exe to fix them. But when I try I'm told these
are 32bit apps, not windows, but "new" DOS. But if I
boot to a DOS prompt using Win98, surely that's a
DOS32 environment?!?!

But a clue perhaps. Booting XP in safe mode a bunch of
multi(0)disk(0)... lines scroll by ending with

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS\inf\biosinfo.inf

Bug or feature? ;)

Normally the XP installation CD has a console-based recovery mode that
should allow you to run findpart, ptedit, fixmbr, etc.
