I've a 100 MB FAT32 partition which is the first primary (and active) partition of my hard disk. I've installed SYSLINUX to that drive. I've another primary partition which I installed Windows XP to it (and this partition is NTFS). I want to have a boot menu, so I used chain.c32 and menu.c32 My syslinux.conf file is as below: LABEL WinXP COM32 chain.c32 APPEND hd0 2 ntldr=ntldr But this does not work, failing with "Failed to load the boot file" error. What is wrong?

Good day Mortaza, As mentioned in response to your Boot-Land postings, it might be worth-while to report which Syslinux version you are using. - Shao Miller
Good day Mortaza, If it's a recent version, you might try APPENDing the "nosethidden" option, since I think that was relatively recently added and is a default for the "ntldr=" option, though you might not really want that option, as mentioned. - Shao Miller
