...as a guest that keeps Windows Updates from nuking the boot process? I just did an orderly shutdown and windows updated itself <I forgot to disable in time> only to reboot to the diagnostics screen which couldn't repair. going to command prompt and doing the usual "bootrec /fixmbr, /fixboot and /RebuildBcd" didn't help. This has happened a few times. I can't believe how fragile Win10pro is while running in a VM. (and it's happened on a couple machines I've been experimenting with -- both running same OS, but different hardware.) I just saw the FAQ about the lib...

...e point is this hard drive boots into bartpe. I also attempted this with a FAT32 partition, but saw slightly different results, which I will detail further down the post, but I'm pretty sure it just has to do with different DOS boot records for FAT and FAT32. It also may be related to "fixboot" which is also part of the above procedure. Next I moved the hard drive to the linux box where I have pxelinux running so I could make an image of the hard drive for memdisk to use (if it can). I understand that memdisk isn't guaranteed to work with "non-DOS" OSes but I thoug...

...can use virt-manager to access the xen server and create an image and what not. I guess my question is can someone help me import this exiting .img file into my xen server for use. Currently it does not boot and when I tried booting to recovery console using windows xp disk I can do a fixmbr, but fixboot does not work cause it says the drive does not exist. Any help would be great. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

...re are frequently included within those updates. It is frequently strongly suggested to reboot the machine in order for the updates to take effect. Recently, I think that whenever these tools are run as part of MS updates, the machine won't boot afterwards. I need to use the MS fixboot tool first. Then, after being able to boot into XP, I can reinstall syslinux 6.01, and reboot using syslinux.
