I think I messed with disk management or I cant remember exactly what I did before the boot problem which I am going to mention soon.I have a multi booting machine with win2k. I can boot win2k without a problem but I will like to boot XP as well

When I boot from XP it gives this error:

The following file is missing or corrupt
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEMd

i don't know what is next to do cos nothing happens pressing F8.

[bla!!]

sounds like you deleted a file from the XP system folder. You can try and cut and past that file from a friends system and put it back.

You also might be able to boot to your XP cd and use the Repair tool.

doing that from XP will it not effect other partition?
