Hi, I'm dual booting two installations of Server 2008. I take regular backups using Acronis of both drives, but recently I lost the whole disk. When I tried to restore the two drives onto a new disk, I'm getting problems booting into one of the installations. Previously, when I booted into either installation, the OS for each would load as drive C. For simplicity, I'll call the install with the boot files P1, and the other install P2. P1 has the boot files. So previously, when I would boot into P1, P1 was loaded as Drive C, and P2 as Drive D. When I would boot into P2, P2 was loaded as Drive C, and P1 as Drive D. Now, after trying to restore the drives on a new disk, P1 (with the boot files) still loads as Drive C, but when I boot into P2 it loads that partition as Drive D, and P1 Drive C. Since both installations were installed as Drive C, this obviously creates a major problem when trying to boot into P2. I tried rebuilding the boot code by booting into the WS08 install cd, choosing repair, and using the bootsect and boot rec commands. To try and force it to allow P2 to boot as Drive C, before running the commands, I first go into DISKPART, change the drive letters so that P2 is Drive C and P1 (with boot files) is Drive D. DISKPART then shows: Volume 0 - D - "P1" (with the boot files) Volume 1 - C - "P2" Then I exit DISKPART and enter the following: d: cd boot bootsect /nt60 d: /force /mbr bootrec /rebuildbcd After entering bcdedit, everything looks fine. It lists {bootmgr} as partition=D: {P1} as partition=D: {P2} as partition=C: But when I try and boot into P2 it keeps loading the P2 partition as Drive D, and so all the windows files are loaded from Drive C, which is the other installation, so P2 is pretty much inoperable. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help restore these drives correctly so that both installations boot as C: like it did previously? Thanks!
