JSI Tip 1450. Boot error on computer that also has OS/2 2.x installed?

If you boot a computer that also has OS/2 2.x installed, you receive:

Windows NT could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <winnt root>\System32\Ntoskrnl.exe.

The OS/2 Boot Manager creates another primary partition that is enumerated before any extended partition.

To resolve the problem:

1. Open a cmd prompt and switch to the root folder.

2. Attrib -R -S -H c:\boot.ini.

3. Edit the Boot.ini file and change the partition number (usually you increase it by 1).
