I run a dual boot with Win2k and Linux using Boot Magic. My Win2k needed more space so I resized the partition. Partition Magic did its thing and rebooted. Everything ran fine. The next time I rebooted into Win2k I got the following blue screen with "inaccessible-boot-device". I ran a repair with the CD and Floppy, no luck. I just installed Win2k last week and it was running perfect. I do not want to reinstall. Any help would be appreciated.

I Fixed It:
My Win2k is on a FAT32 Partition. I loaded my Win98 floppy and ran FDISK/MBR. This restored the MBR and Win2k booted up fine. LUCKY.

Thanks all

Yes, but did this also overwrite BootMagic?

I am booting Win98, Win2K, Caldera, Mandrake, SuSE, and last and least Corel. BootMagic seemed to screw up for me so now I use XOSL. If you want to try it: http://www.xosl.org/ (http://)
