Suprjacob Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Partitioning error, actually. . . this message is a pain. If you have other physical drives, try disconnecting them and reinstall. That usually works for me, for some reason. Or, you could trash XP, as it is trash (it uses an installer from Win 3.11!), and install Windows 7. It's much better.

(rdisk number in your case is correct, edit only partition number). And root, not roof.

maverick_pranav Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 It is a problem caused by boot.ini!!...spent hours trying to correct this problem while trying to create a usb boot disk for xp....and had a lot of trouble with this error!....but was eventually just a corrupt boot.ini...
