    Windows tries to boot from windows.old


    Dear community,I have a problem for which I have not found any answer yet. I dont know what caused it but my windows 11 won’t boot properly anymore. After trying the bootrec /rebuildbcd command I probably found the error but I dont know how to fix it.It tries to boot from C:\Windows.old\Windows and of course that is not the directory it should be but how do I change the folder of the drive it tries to boot from?Is there a command?Glad for any help***** moved form german to english Community ****

    How to go about building a tri-boot system?

    i dual boot all the time, and going in to tri boot is easy.

    step 1) partition the drive in to 3 partitions ( leaving 1 empty for the linux installer. )
    step 2) install windows on the first 2 partitions.
    step 3) install linux, and let it auto partition the remaining space. ( i recommend at least 30gb of space for linux, because it will make things a lot easier. )

    step 4) enjoy.

    Windows XP no boot

    I have a no boot issue in windows XP. It just keeps giving me the "no boot device" or something similar. It will boot from the Windows XP Home disk without any issues. I have tried replacing the boot.ini, fixmbr, and fixboot. None of these have worked. I even went so far as to doing the repair by installing Windows XP Home. When it rebooted it still gave me the same reading.

    I can get it to boot from a Paragon Rescue disk though. I am at a loss on this one. My next step is to run a boot virus check I suppose, as this system had over 300 trojans, virus' and malware.

    This is a friends computer that has a bunch of his work related documents so I don't want to reformat or anything unless it has to.
