Hoping to avoid a big diagnostic hassle, I restored a Drive Image image that I'd made just prior to the firewall installation.

I tried re-restorng the image from W98se (which still loads and runs), but the same problem occurs. Any ideas? Thank you. Lee Found the answer after some web searching. In case there's any interest, the problem is fixed by running FIXMBR from Recovery Console, then running FDISK /MBR from a DOS boot disk. This info appears on the Symantec site, they've incorporated a lot of the Powerquest data, thankfully.

If you do not use any boot manger that installs into mbr just skip that step. Yes Win 2k will boot if partition with ntldr is active. In my case it detected new hard drive and asked for reboot itself. BTW have a look to symantec site I remember that they described similar problem when the image was used for PCs using different acpi systems. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2004 2:20 PM To: Libretto Subject: Re: [LIB] W2K Log On Loop Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2004 08:19:52 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] W2K Log On Loop In a message dated 4/27/04 2:16:21 AM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Make the partition you want to log on active then Fdisk mbr.

I'm using the W2K boot manager - any idea whether this will require the /mbr treatment? I took a look at the Symantec/Powerquest site, but saw no way to access any information w/o paying for it. I'll have another look. Thanks for your suggestion, I hope I can resurrect this install.

If this wasn't your machine my first thought would have been some prankster put a logout command in your startup but obviously that isn't the case here! I have had bizzare things happen when I've ghosted hard drives or moved things around and screwed up the Windows swapfile (such as having the swapfile on a drive which I then remove or where the signature changes). In my case though if I'm not mistaken it did actually come up with an error (a cryptic one) but apart from that it appears exactly like your scenario - moments after logging in it logs you straight back out again. In the end I jumped in with another Win2k install and erased the hard drive signatures from the registry (so Windows would look at the original hard drives again and presumably set up the swapfile correctly). Try having a poke around the Microsoft support site perhaps ... Sorry I couldn't be more specific! Good luck! - Raymond --- /~\ | | Does fuzzy logic tickle?| | ___ | My HDD has no reverse.
